Funeral Procession of Swedish King Gustaf V in Stockholm

Swedish flags are half-staff, people are waiting for the arrival of the coffin. Among the funeral flags there is also the national flag of Estonia. Columns of servicemen and civilians are passing by; wreaths; the king's horse Dukat wearing the funereal rug; black horses pulling the hearse with the dark red coffin; King Gustaf VI walking with the crowd in the funeral procession. Funeral cannonade by the warships.
