23rd June 1911 it says. George V and May of Teck were crowned on the 22nd June. This'll be their coronation parade. I think the photographer has just got the date a bit wrong:-)

Actually, the "royal progress" was an additional event, on the day after the coronation. See an article in the NYT query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9402E2DA1E3EE233A...

The left-hand building has 5 Lombard Street on a sign and is an ABC Aerated Bread Company tea-room en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerated_Bread_Company The building next to it has office space to rent in January 2008 www.landmarkplc.com/lombard/Lombard_1.html This is close to the Bank tube station in the City of London.

Notice that the carriage horses are controlled by postilions, not a coachman.

The date would suggest it was 23 June 1911 which was one day after the Coronation of King George V. Since this is almost certainly a picture of the Coronation procession I would think the date refered to the day it was processed or published. Many other copies of this and other pictures in the series are available on the Internet, all taken from the same position but with the procession moved.

This is the Royal Procession which takes place on the day following the coronation.

The carriage appears to contain a Maharaja and the following cavalry is Indian.
