The Reading of the Royal Proclamation of Peace and for a Day of Thanksgiving, at Edinburgh, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Reading of the Royal Proclamation of Peace and for a Day of Thanksgiving, at Edinburgh, 1856. Ceremony to mark the end of the Crimean War. Altogether there could not have been less than 10, 000 people assembled in the High-street. The 7th Dragoon Guards formed the guard of honour, and lined the street from the County-buildings to the porch of the High Church...the procession, consisting of Sheriff Gordon, the Sheriff-Clerk, and the Heralds and Pursuivants, moved from the County-buildings to the Cross, joined at the High Church by the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council in their robes, guarded by a body of high constables. Both Proclamations were read by Mr. Anderson, Marchmont Herald - the Peace Proclamation being responded by Mr. Robert Hamilton, Kintyre Pursuivant, and the Thanksgiving Proclamation by Mr. James Sinclair, Unicorn Pursuivant'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
