Over 120,000 people were pre- sent al yesterday's ceremony at Liverpool when His Majesty the King, by pressing a golden switch, formally opened the Mersey Tun nel, which is the longest under- water roadway in the world and one of the greatest engineering achievements of modern times.
The tunnel is to be called Queensway in honour of Her! Majesty. It cost £8.000,000 and is the largest enterprise ever undertaken by a single Muni- cipality.
In his speech at the ceremony, His Majesty referred to the tunnel as "This miracle", and, in a strik- ing passage, said "Who can reflect, the
