Summary[edit]

Description

Officers of the City of London Police form a Guard of Honour on the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral for King George V who has just attended the State Funeral of Field Marshall Lord Roberts VC. This is Thursday 19th November 1914 which was a cold and miserable day, the sleet can be seen in the photograph. The French postcard was sent from France by a serving British soldier to his mother who lived in Greenwich. Lord Roberts was a very famous Victorian soldier who at the age of 82 years went to France in order to inspect an Indian regiment of which he was Colonel in Chief. During the visit he contracted a chill and died of pneumonia several days later.

I have Geotagged this photo and it has put the location in Southwark, this is wrong, the location is in the City of London.
