FIRST PUBLIC CEREMONY
Posy Of Herbs
ALMS BORNE BY YEOMAN ON A GOLDEN PLATTER
London. Apr. 9.
King Edward came in humility to the Abbey Church of Westmin- ster to-day to give his Royal Maundy to the poor.
It was his first public ceremony since the funeral of his father.
With his own hand he took the. red and the white purses from a gleaming golden platter and gave them to those gathered to receive his bounty.
Soberly dressed, they waited for him in the choir, these aged poor 42 old women and 42 old men, one for each year of the King's age.
Eyes bright with tears watched the rich procession moving slowly towards the High Altar.
THE KING'S BODYGUARD Pikemen of the King's Body-
lined the nave. their glorious Tudor guard of the Yeomen of the Guard tabards and gleaming pikes adding colour to a dull day.
