IMPRESSIVE SCENE AT
PUBLIC MEETING THANKSGIVING SERVICE AT CATHEDRAL
ROYAL SALUTE THUNDERED
OUT AT NOON
Hong Kong, in company with the rest of the Empire, is to-day celebrating the 25th anniversary of the accession of His Majesty King George. But it is very fitting that the official celebrations of this historic event should have begun, às they did this morning, with a service of Thanksgiving at St. John's Cathedral. For the occasion, though ̈ one for rejoicing, is also imbued with a spirit of thanksgiving that our Ruler has been spared to us to complete a 25 years' reign of benign justice. and mercy.
An hour later the public meeting at the Volunteer Headquarters enthusiastically approv- ed of the despatch of a Loyal Address and a tele- gram of congratulation to His Majesty.
The motion was introduced by "Also we as British subjects who said:
Britons throughout the world are to-day celebrating the twenty-fifth an- niversary of the accession to the Throne of the King-Emperor, His Bellannie Majesty, King George the Fifth.".
His Excellency the Governor, greatly appreciate the sympathy LONDON'S WEEK-END
