Parade Of 1911
London, Aug. 18. ROUTE of the Coronation procession of King Edward VIII, on Wednesday, May 12, 1937, was announced officially last night. It has been approved by the King. Two million people are expected to line the route, which is nearly twice as long as that taken by the procession at the coronation of King George and Queen Mary.
In 1937 the procession will cover six miles. In 1911 only three-and-a-half miles were covered.
These are the streets which will have the chance of greeting the King next year:-
