I believe the crenellated tower on the Times building was added after the 1910 bombing. In any event, the 1928 parade was after the 1910 bombing (hence the bigger number). The working men and women killed or wounded in the blast certainly didn't deserve such a fate but the Times was (up to that point and perhaps well into the '50s) little more than a reactionary rag.
