Rehearsal on horseback for Coronation procession, London
May 05, 1953 - Rehearsal for the Coronation Procession: A rehearsal for the Coronation procession was held this morning. About 300 troops were used to represent the units taking part. They left Buckingham Palace at 5am, arriving at Westminster Abbey a little more than half an hour later. The troops wore battledress and no bands were used. The State coach and a few troops, to represent the immediate entourage, covered the rest of the route. The object of the rehearsal was to practise the marshalling of the procession.
