Queen Victoria's Funeral Procession at Marble Arch

The funeral procession approaches Paddington

Queen Victoria's funeral procession, on 2nd February 1901, passes round Marble Arch on its way through Hyde Park to Paddington station. The pavements are crowded with spectators and the police guard as the cortege of troops on foot and horseback pass. The riders use the corner as a moment to adjust their position and form up which is captured by the camera from its fixed position, at the end of the film we see the gun carriage passing, bearing the Queen's coffin drawn by her eight cream horses.
