Day Is V Jily
Of Ceremonies
(Continued From Page One)
Edward’s crown and reverently
places it on the king’s head.
Guns at the Tower of London,
signalled by a telephone opera
tor high in the Abbey, boom out
the news and the people—inside
and out—shout “God Save the
King.” The peers put on their
coronets, trumpets blare and the
Abbey bells peal.
After the benediction the king
goes back to the throne.
Shouts of “God Save the King"
again swell through the Abbey
as drums roll and trumpets blare.
Coronation of the queen follows,
then the procession returns to
Buckingham Palace over a six
mile route. The imperial crown
which George will wear on this
drive weighs more than three and
a half pounds compared with the
few ounces of the derby he usual

Day nf Merriment
Back at the Palace, the mon
arehs will appear on spot-lighted
balconies in late afternoon and
evening in response to the surg
ing crowds.
The king’s last major duty of
the day will be the broadcast to
his empire. Special radio equip
ment is being installed in the
i palace for this.
For the royal rulers it will be
an exacting day—but for their
loyal subjects it will be a color
ful, exciting one. Something of
the carnival spirit will prevail in
the crowd which will flow thru
Hyde Park—transformed for the
occasion with refreshment stands,
first aid shelters and troop tents.
Floodlighted buildings will add
to the spectacle, and, from scores
■of restaurants, pubs and theatres
; will re-echo the cry “God Save
the King” as the masses drink
his health and watch special en
ter: ainments far into the night.
Coach Slicked Up
The state coach in which King
George and Queen Elizabeth will
drive to Westminister Abbey for
their coronation has been special
ly smartened up (or the occasion.
Early one morning, to attract
as little attention as possible, it
was taken to an old firm of coach
builders in Chelesa for re-gilding
| and renovation.
Although built 175 years ago
l for Queen Anne, the coach lb still
i
; in good running order and repair.
. It is very heavy and is generally
drawn at walking pace by eight
horses.
