PRINCESS ALEXANDRA VISITS POLICEMEN'S FAMILIES

Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra paid a visit to Sgt. Leung

Sung and his family at their home in the Arsenal Street rank and file married

quarters this (Monday) morning.

Her Royal Highness made the visit shortly after unveiling a plaque

at a building.now under construction as an extension to the police head-

quarters complex.

Sgt. Leung, who has been in the force for 19 years, introduced

the Princess to his wife, Mrs. Leung Chan Po-chu, his two daughters,

Wai-ching, 11, and Wai-ying, 10 and his nine-year-old son, Wai-yip.

Princess Alexandra asked Sgt. Leung how long he has been in the

force and what were his present duties. She asked Mrs. Leung about her

housework and the children's education.

After the Princess left the flat, the children were asked how

they felt at having met Her Royal Highness. They said that they were very

nervous and excited and hoped that they could have an opportunity of meeting

the Princess again.

Many of Sgt. Leung's neighbours stood at the doorway of their homes

to catch a glimpse of the Princess as she passed by them.

The Princess took the opportunity of making impromptu visits to

a number of flats along the way. She asked the occupants many questions

about their daily lives.
