On a rainy and windy day there is marching a procession of priests and town dignitaries. A big community of priests is consecrating the foundation stone of the memorial of František Palacký. The Prague Archbishop František Schönborn is blessing the foundation stone. The Priests are lying down blessed stone cube components and form them into one big unit.

View on the Čech Bridge from the Pařížská Street. At the bridge head there is a group of the city officials reading their speeches. The festive group of people walks over the bridge towards Letná. Then follows a scene from the opposite side of the bridge, from the right bank of the Vltava River. The group of people then walks back from the Letná side.
