• Dubbed the ‘Pharaohs’ Golden Parade’, the 18 kings and four queens travelled in order, oldest first, each aboard a separate float decorated in ancient Egyptian style
• Ramses II, who ruled Egypt for 67 years, and Queen Hatshepsut, the most powerful female pharaoh, were among the mummies on the journey
