The Royal Entry into London: the procession passing the Guards Memorial, Waterloo-Place, 1874. Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, with his new bride, Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia process through the capital. 'The state entry of her Majesty the Queen and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Grand Duchess of Edinburgh into London on Thursday week is the subject of our Illustration. It was an event which all ranks and classes of her Majesty's liege people regarded with such affectionate interest as they have always felt in the domestic happiness of the Royal family, now increased by the welcome presence of an amiable and illustrious lady, the newly-married wife of our Sailor Prince...A ray of sunshine burst forth as the cheering indicated the near approach of the cortege to Pall-mall, and the Royal carriage was stopped for a moment to the westward of the Crimean monument [Guards Crimean War Memorial], to which the particular attention of the Duchess was called. The Guards' band, stationed to the east of the monument, struck up the National Anthem, which was followed by the Russian National Anthem, and the procession passed on amidst enthusiastic cheering'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
