. Across the Channel at the hunt
ing lodge at Touraine, Edward
Windsor, the man whose abdica
tion of the British throne, made
George a king, listened, by his
side Mrs. Wallis Warfield, to the
radio broadcast of the ritual.
Then just as the peak of the sol
emn Abbey consecration was be
ing performed, his friends dis
closed that he and Mrs. Warfield
had delayed their marriage uinitil
early in June, because the royal
family, who were desiring a pub
lic wedding, disagreed with the
British government which wants
it strictly private.

I
with no hint of impediment, the
i grave eyed Monarch accepted the
throne of Great Britain and pledg
I ed himself to a just and honest
rule.
! The two hour ceremony was
| climaxed when the Sovereign,
: aged 41, was lifted reverently to
J the Throne in the sight of seven
! ty-five hundred peers, peeresses,
foreign rulers, diplomats and sta
tesmen from all over the world.
Outside the Abbey, millions or
more people, cheered, guns on the
I Tower of London boomed, church
I bells pealed, as from a signal, as
I the priceless jewelled Crown of
St. Stephen was placed on the
brow of King George VI.
The Queen was then annointed
and crowned in a briefer cere
, mony immediately following the
conornation of the king.
there was not a visible Haw in
the ceremony. Throughout the
ceremony Princess Elizabeth, age
1 LI, heiress presumptive to the
throne, gravely and intently
I watched the impressive ritual,
that may some day make her
'Great Britain’s first reigning
queen since Queen Victoria;whilc
Margaret, age 6, her young sister,
squirmed and wriggled,
j Outside of the Abbey, in a crush
i of humanity, lining every inch of
space along the six miles of pro
fessional route, more than three
score spectators fainted, one
| youth died, and during a fight at
j Piccadilly Circus twenty others
' were injured.
A dull overcast sky darkened the
glitter of jewels and the gleam
ing bright hued uniforms in the
procession.
In the evening, speaking from
his study in Buckingham Palace,
King George VI made history.
His brief speech, notable for its
simplicity, was broadcast to the
British empire. No king before
him had ever made such broad-,
cast to his subjects who had j
gathered in farflung British do- j
mains. It was made part of cor
onation celebration. “It is with a !
full heart that I speak to you j
tonight” he said.”
It is estimated that there was
a half billion listeners to his
radio broadcast.
