His coach can be seen at the foot of the steps. Judges going up the steps. A different camera angle, from the bottom of the steps looking up: crowds line the steps; the dignitaries carrying the sword and mace, followed by the Lord Mayor and his wife, descend. A High Court Judge descends and a woman gives him a posy of flowers. The rest of the Judges descend and the Borough Mayors and their wives, all holding posies of flowers.
