"Here's a Health Unto Their Majesties !" :The Royal Procession for the Opening of Parliament. 1909.

For Sale is a Full Page Photograph removed from "The Bystander, February 24th, 1909,"called "Here's a Health Unto Their Majesties," showing "The Royal Procession for the Opening of Parliament."

Not before in the King's Reign has the State opening of Parliament drawn such immense crowds, nor have the cheers along the route been so hearty and full-throated.  It was a special occasion-the first appearance of their Majesties after a most important visit to Berlin-and that took presidence in people's minds over the actual business upon which the King and Queen were engaged.  Through all this brilliant pageant, until the moment when the faithful Commons are summoned, all hearts beat in accord. Then comes the King's Speech, and the merry war of politics breaks out afresh.

Condition is Very Good.
