The Silver Jubilee Celebrations in London began with a carriage procession through the City to St Paul's Cathedral for a national service of thanksgiving on 6 May 1935.

A reception was hosted by the Lord Mayor of London in honour of the King and Queen, which was also attended by the Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of York.
