London, May 6.

Brilliant sunshine tempered by a breeze favoured His Majesty's Silver Jubilee and vast throngs occupied the seats in the stands and buildings as well as pavements since the early hours of the morning. It is expected that over three millions will cheer their Majesties as they pass on their way to St. Paul's Cathedral.

The Police anticipate that the crowd will be fifteen deep along the whole route and is is likely that the number will be surpassed in some places. Stout wooden bar- riers have been erected at strategic spots including Aldwych, Ludgate Circus. Moorgate," Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly, and after 9 a.m. only those will be admitted who can satisfy the Police..

The street crowds are in the best humour although in many cases the very tired people are jealously guarding their places and refusing, in many cases, to allow even those with cards to penetrate, despite police persuasion,

Comic relief was provided by the arrival of a briskly driven hearse- like vehicle, exciting ribaldry from the crowd. The vehicle bore the Royal Arms but its purpose was not disclosed.
