Coronation Pageant, 1911

Bilsdale Band led a Pageant held on July 1st 1911, to mark the Coronation of
King George V and Queen Mary.

The Pageant took place at Busby Hall, Carlton in Cleveland, Stokesley, North Yorkshire.

The significance of the smocks, hats and neckerchiefs is unclear, but they were in good company - if the other participants in the Order of Procession is anything to go by...

Thanks to Ida Atkinson for providing the originals of these images.
