Comments and Context
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “The Royal Carriage passing Temple Bar. Temple Bar is an old gateway in the street which long ago was the entrance to the city. It is now an open street, but the old custom is still carried out, that even the king while on official business cannot pass thru [sic] this gateway without first obtaining the permission of the Lord Mayor of the city. So still carrying out the old custom, King George stopped the procession to officially obtain permission of the Lord Mayor to proceed thru [sic] the old gateway.”
