A huge crowd mills around as people gather to watch a solemn funeral procession in a major European city after World War 1. Spectators line the sidewalks. Some persons in the procession carry dark flags. The focus of the procession, along a major thorofare, is what appears to be a giant coffin float, draped in bicolor or tricolor bunting. The float has a flame in an open bowl, at each corner, and is escorted by hundreds of persons, who surround it, as it moves along the avenue. Three groups of persons carry flower arrangements at shoulder height, in in the midst of the crowded procession behind the float. The participants and float, move past a large colonnade building draped in white fabric and displaying a large flower wreath laid flat on a structure above its steps.
