Historical information

The coronation of King Edward VII was scheduled to be held on 26 June 1902, but was postponed at very short notice due to the King's illness. An article in the Advertiser on 27 June 1902 describes the festivities at Cheltenham Park racecourse, and describes the Governor's entourage driving from Woodville Station to the racecourse.
