THE ROYAL PROCESSION. IMPOSING PAGEANT IN LONDON. Tremendous Enthusias m
London, June 21. The Queen left Buckingham Palace about 11 a.m. today for Westminster Abbey in an open carriage, escorted by a cavalcade of English and other princes, the effect being most brilliant. Her Majesty was dressed in a white lace gown over a darker material. She wore a white bonnet, and appeared smiling and happy. When the carriage emerged from the great gates of the palace, the enthusiasm of the people who thronged St. James's Park and its approaches was boundless, and increased until the cheering became a mighty roar. Her Majesty proceeded via Constitution Hill, Piccadilly, St. Jamesstreet, Pall Mall, Trafalgar Square, and Whitehall. The line of route was crowded from sunrise with people waiting to see the pageant. The scene in Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly and in the neighbourhood of Westminster Abbey was unparalleled for brilliancy and wealth of colour and for iinpressiveness. The assembled myriads were unitedly animated by enthusiasm and loyalty. The Queen entered the Abbey at noon with an artillery salute.
