ANCIENT RITUAL

AND PAGEANTRY. COLOURFUL SCENES AT THE CORONATION

NEW STATUS OF DOMINIONS

When King Edward is crowned in Westminster Abbey on May 12, 1937, he will be the first English Monarch to be crowned since the Statute of Westminister set out in legal form the complete indepen- dence of the Dominions.

The Statute lays it down that every member of the British Com monwealth has equal rights in relation to the Crown, which is the symbol of their free association.

• Hidden microphones in the Abbey will carry the service to every corner of the Empire, and the greatest congregation ever known will join in the solemn act of consecration.

In planning the Coronation, procedure dating back to the days of the Anglo-Saxon kings is followed.

Westminster Abbey will be closed probably three months before the ceremony. The stage or theatre will be erected by the Office of Works at the point where the transepts divide the

nave from the choir.
