Coronation of Edward VII (1902)

A short glimpse of the new King's delayed coronation procession through London.

Non-Fiction 1902 Silent

Overview

This seems to be the only surviving fragment of Mitchell & Kenyon's record of the King's coronation procession, which originally ran over 10 minutes. Since Victoria's death in January 1901, events including a case of appendicitis had delayed the ceremony. Edward was finally crowned in a low-key event in August, and the celebration procession took place on the 25th October 1902.
