On Monday, members of the British and other European royal families attended a number of events commemorating the start of World War I. One commemoration event that did not receive much media spotlight occurred in London. The ‘Great War Centenary Parade’, a procession of over 40 Edwardian cars, traveled from Royal Hospital Chelsea through central London to the Houses of Parliament, the Cenotaph in Whitehall, Westminster Bridge, Lancaster House and IWM London. 150 participants, including Chelsea Pensioners (whose predecessors fought in the Great War) and Prince and Prince Michael of Kent, took part. Prince Michael wore a dapper chocolate fedora while Princess Michael wore a white summer hat trimmed with a purple bloom.

Thanks Hat Queen as I didn’t see any coverage of this event in the mainstream media. Princess Michael always rocks those large hats.
what a lovely parade, should have had more coverage.
