Visit of the Emperor of Russia to the City: arrival at Guildhall, 1874. Alexander II on a state visit to the city of London. 'He went to Guildhall to receive an address and to partake of a luncheon given by the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City...The procession from Buckingham Palace consisted of eleven of the Queen's state carriages...They could be seen well in the streets; all the carriages but the first three were open. The escort was formed of the 2nd Life Guards. The Grenadier Guards furnished a guard of honour at the departure from Buckingham Palace, and at Guildhall when the procession arrived...The streets...were lined with soldiers, the Guards and the 4th Infantry...A handsome pavilion, chiefly of a gold colour, with baskets of flowers on Venetian masts, was at the door of Guildhall. The streets were everywhere thronged with applauding spectators'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
