CORONATION DAY

IN LONDON

Continged from Page 1)

As luck would have it (or was it by design on the part of the Colonial v. Office?)

Kong Hong shared a car with British Guiana, whose Governor, Sir Stafford Northcote, is shortly to be trans- ferred to us. Mr. Austin, British Gulana's representative, tells me that they are just as sorry to lose Sir Stafford as we are to lose Bir Andrew Caldecott and he considers 11.3 very lucky indeed to have secured a Governiz with, such out- standing administratie capacity and personal charm.

EXCELLENT ACCOMMODATION

Our seats in the Abbey could not have been better had Hong Kong been

the Throne, King

'

Edward's Chair, where "the King is anointed, and the Royal Box: In fact there was virtually no part of the Ceremony we could not see except the procession through the Nave to the West Door of the Abbey.

We were alongside the Peeressea' Gallery and derived some', quiet amusement watching the anxiety of these first ladies of the land endeavouring to put their coronets on straight at the exact moment when the Queen was crowned, On the whole they were fairly suc- cessful,

I don't know whether there will be a colour film of the Ceremony. Perhaps there will, although colour photography in its prevent stage cannot do justice to such brillant chromatic splendour. The lighting was magnificent. The Throne. King Edward's Chair and the Sanctuary appeared as bathed throughout In one great beam of sunshine which showed up to per- fection the riot of colour and scintillating jewels. No other coun- try in the world could stage such a brilliant pageant. The scene as the King and Queen, with their retinue, prepared for the proces sion out of the Abbey was perhaps the climax to a spectacle which far transcended anything my wife or, I had ever pictured."

At night we were extraordinarily Democratic and class conscious as lucky, Falling to get our own car they are supposed to be, they put from the Daimler Hire Service (I their heart and soul into a great suppose it was still circling round occasion of this kind, and after all the Abbey exits waiting for us) they It is they who make or mar it.

DELEGATES CHEERED It was a great pity that such first class organization should havs 'broken down at all but apparently it' was due to the crowd getting out of hand and blocking the exita to the parking places, And after all it had its amusing side.
