Shot of men waving Union Jacks. High angle shot of royal procession going across bridge. Pan as it turns onto street. King talking to British. soldier; other military men; and a few nuns or nurses in BG. Carriage pulls up in front of building; w/ group of people on steps King talking to people on steps etc.

Titles: 'Royal Visit To City. Lord Mayor presents the City Sword when King George V visits London Institution.'
Lord Mayor stands by King's open coach on London street; speaking to him and Queen Mary (and Princess Royal / Princess Mary who is also in the coach) and handing him a large ceremonial sword. The King touches it and speaks to the Mayor who steps backwards and bows, still holding the sword. The coach drives off and officials all put their hats back on.
