It had to be the 1930s because of the cloche hats and also because of the motor cars; 10 years earlier it would have been a horse-drawn hearse. How interesting that none of the men seem to have removed their hats in respect.

I missed this earlier - had been following the thread but didn't see the conclusion.  So glad that the mystery has been solved!

Excellent result John. I've been intrigued by this topic since first reading your original request. It does beg the question - "What are you going to do with all your free time now?"  ;D  ;D  ;D

HAHA Tony,  you don't know how close to the truth that is. Dusty Springfield's 'I just Don't Know What To Do With Myself' has become my party piece and I even have it as my ringtone ;D

If it is a funeral I wonder why the male mourners in the cavalcade are not carrying their hats and no man in the crowd is doffing their hats to the departed? All the men have their hats on.

Hi kwhitts and welcome to Rootschat.

Long before we discovered that it was indeed a funeral that very same issue was raised and the excellent sleuths on here deduced that as the time of year the photo was taken would be mid to late winter because of the bareness of the trees etc. those in attendance would have only been too glad to get themselves ‘covered up’ as soon as the cortège had passed.
Good luck with your research.
