Probabily the procession for the coronation of Queen Eliwabeth II in 1953: a parade with a convoy. Michael Roggem a Dutch 16 mm filmmaker, has filmed these festivities. This is probabily the Queens Road. However, the fact that the coronation of several monarchs in Hong Kong was celebrated, especially King George VI in 1937 and King Edward II in 1902, makes the identification of the frost on pictures like these difficult.
