Marriage of Princess Louise at Windsor: arrival of wedding guests, 1871. 'The doors of St. George's Chapel were thrown open at eleven o'clock, by which hour the numbers of privileged spectators of the marriage ceremony, who had assembled outside, eagerly sought the seats to which their tickets entitled them. Soon after this, carriages began to arrive in quick succession, setting down at the entrance next to Wolsey Chapel elegantly and suitably attired ladies, and gentlemen in uniforms glittering with gold lace, stars, and orders of distinction'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
