Extra Notes
Saw the random photo pop up and revisited the comments made. The funeral of Sir Robert was held on 2 May 1956. From newspaper photos of the day, the cortege made its way through Des Voeux Road Central passing the HSBC amidst a steady downpour. There was that looks like a police band at the head of the procession.
