Seen past the back of a mounted trooper of the Household Cavalry, his helmet crowned with a long white plume and his cuirass catching the light, a closed state coach with large windows, the royal arms on its door and a lantern at each corner rolls slowly past; a figure in white can be glimpsed inside. According to the source, the scene shows the wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece at Westminster Abbey on 29 November 1934; the bride drove to the Abbey in the Glass Coach.
