August 3 - Mary I and Elizabeth process through London

On this day in Tudor history, 3 August 1553, the newly proclaimed queen, Queen Mary I, processed through the streets of London with her half-sister, the future Elizabeth I, after having been greeted as queen.

It must have been a sight to see as the citizen of London celebrated the accession of Mary I, after the rather short reign of Queen Jane.

Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History", shares a contemporary account of the procession and celebrations.
