London (England) -- Social life and customs -- 18th century

And the other three regiments of the City Trained-bands are
     to guard the way from St. Paul's Church-yard to Temple-bar.
     From Temple-bar, the Steward, High-bailiff, and Burgesses
     of Westminster, in their gowns, attended by all the
     Constables and Beadles with their respective staves: and the
     High-bailiff's officers, with their ensigns of office, are
     to line the way: and next to them the Militia of Westminster
     make a guard, leaving a space between them and his Majesty's
     Foot-guards (who line the way from St. James's into the
     Strand) for the Artillery-company to draw up in.

     Against St. Alban's-street in the Pall-mall, the Sheriffs'
     officers and Lord Mayor's officers are to make a stand on the
     right-hand.

     Those who have served, or fined for Sheriffs or Aldermen of
     London, are to make their stand between the passages into St.
     James's-square.

     The Sheriffs and Aldermen make their stand towards the
     upper-end of the Pall-mall, on the right-hand leading to St.
     James's-gate.

     The Nobility, and others who go in their coaches, are to
     alight at St. James's-gate; and the coaches to pass by St.
     James's Meuse into St. James's-park, and go out again at the
     upper gate by Hyde-park.

     The Knight-marshal's men, kettle-drums, trumpets, and
     serjeant-trumpet, are to make a stand on the right-hand side
     from the end of the Pall-mall, by the Gloucester-tavern.

     The Officers of arms and Serjeants at arms are to pass on to
     the second gate-way, and there alight.

     The Lord-mayor, with Garter, and the Gentleman-usher of the
     Black-rod, are to attend his Majesty into St. James's, to
     the foot of the stairs leading up to the Guard-chamber; where
     they alight, and the Lord Mayor humbly takes his leave of his
     Majesty.

     During the whole proceeding from St. Margaret's-hill, the
     Conduits at Stocks-market and other parts of the City are
     to run with wine as usual. And the great guns at the Tower
     are to be twice discharged: first, at his Majesty's taking
     coach at Greenwich; and secondly, after his passing over
     London-bridge. And at his Majesty's arrival at his Royal
     Palace, the foot-guards in the Park fire three volleys, and
     the cannon in the Park are to be discharged."
