German Kaiser Wilhelm II is greeted by British officialdom at Guildhall, in London, during a visit with King George V and Queen...
Film opens with scenes of British Horseguards on parade along street in London, England, watched by crowds on the sidewalks. Next, an elaborate coach, bearing an image of the Coat of Arms of the city of London, is seen arriving at the Guildhall. Footmen step to the coach door, where one places a step stool while the other takes the ceremonial mace for bewigged Lord Mayor, Sir Thomas B. Crosby, who steps from the coach, followed by London Sheriff, Sir Charles Augustin Hanson, and other city officials. Four uniformed trumpeters stand in front of the Guildhall and play a fanfare announcing arrival of a royal open coach carrying the monarchs of Great Britain and Germany. When it arrives, King George V quickly steps from the coach and assists Queen Mary as she alights. They are followed by the King's cousin, Emperor (Kaiser) Wilhelm II, of Germany, who steps from the coach. The Kaiser is dressed in Hussar uniform including fur Busby adorned with Totenkopf (Death Head) emblem. A flurry of activity ensues as the the King and Queen and the Kaiser engage in greeting various officials and dignitaries. The Kaiser recognizes a woman in the group and hurries to greet and kiss her. (She is likely a relative.)
