This procession inevitably gives rise to a certain amount of inconvenience; the whole question was carefully reviewed in consultation with the City authorities in 1933, and since then every effort has been made to minimise the inconvenience caused to the public. This year the distance traversed was approximately one mile less than in 1932, and the length of the procession was about 170 yards shorter. I am informed by the Commissioners both of the City and of the Metropolitan Police that the delay and dislocation of traffic this year were considerably less than in previous years.
