The Basutos ride to greet the King. A great cavalcade of Basuto tribesman, mounted on sturdy ponies, rides along the dusty trial to Maseru, capital of Basutoland. Earlier the Royal Family, escort by mounted police, had driven along the road. As they passed the rider swung into procession behind them, stretching many miles across the picturesque country. Many of them had trekked for a week in order to pay homage to their King, as he drove past. 15 March 1947
