It also settled on the route for the drive (evidently not technically a procession) from Buckingham Palace to the Abbey. A meeting on 16 July resolved that the coronation should be on 26 June 1902 and the procession through London on 25 June 1902. See also F. Temple Papers, 57, fos 97, 106

27. T. F. Taylor, J. Armitage Robinson, Cambridge 1991, 49, implies that Robinson took the work on himself because the dean 'was old and could not supervise' the service and that he was supported in this by Davidson (p. 58). But there is no evidence to suggest this and it was May 1902 before Robinson mentioned Bradley's health to Davidson
