As They Bow to Throng Before Palace

George’s Radio Talk Will Conclude Ceremony.

(Continued from Page One)

London and St. James’ Park, and the hundreds of thousands who packed the streets echoed, “God save the: king” in a swelling paean of joy that rolled over the metropolis. They had stood in line for hours— some even for two days—to witness the magnificent state processions which preceded and followed the coronation. They stretched in an unbroken mass along the six-mile route along: which the King and Queen, royalty, visiting notables and dignitaries rode in state back to Buckingham Palace, accompanied by a great military display. Bands blared and the roar of cheering was continuous and deafening. Just before the anoiniment, the King was divested at the altar of his crimson outer robes and sat in the ancient King Edward's throne, seven centuries old, in which reposes the Stone of Scone, or Stone of Destiny, on which Scottish Kings were crowned until the English captured it. Canopy Over Head

Four Knights of the Garter held above the King’s head the gleaming golden canopy. The Dean of Westminster, with unsteady hands, poured out the heavy, fragrant yellow fluid composed of the oils of orange flowers, cinnamon, jasmine, sesame, civet and ambergris® from the beak of the golden eagle called the Ampulla, into an 800-year-old silver-gilt spoon. A The Archbishop : of Canterbury 1everently drew the crosses which religiously consecrated George as King. His scarlet tunic and underwear were opened for the cross upon his chest. After the Archbishop's blessing, the Dean of Westminster placed about” the King’s shoulders the sleeveless garment of linen called the Colobium Sidonis, the close-fit-ting pall of gold cloth called the Supertunica, and the Golden Girdle. This ritual, the sixth phase of the "ceremony, constituted the actual - consecration, Three other

Crown Studded With Gems

With George sitting in King Edward’s chair, the crown of St. Edward. was brought from the altar by the Dean of Westminster. It is of gold, studded with diamonds, em- | eralds, rubies, sapphires and pearls. The Archbishop of Canterbury | lifted the five-pound crown from its | velvet cushion, poised it above the ‘King’s head and carefully ad-

' justed it.

' the King's scholars of Westminster School and hold the ancient privilege of leading the cheering, shouted shrilly, “God Save the King.” The thousands in the Abbey echoed the shouts. The peers placed their glittering coronets on their heads. Blasts of trumpets sounded. The thuds of the royal salutes of 103 guns fired from the tower and St. James’ Park were heard.

Takes List of Titles

Thus George VI was crownefl as “His Most Excellent Majesty George VI, by the Grace of God, of |Great Britain, Ireland and of the British. Dominions Beyond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith. Emperor of India,” to reign over the greatest empire ever known, covering onefourth of the earth’s habitable sur-

| face, with a population of 500 mil-

lion persons. The ancient pageant was carried out before 7700 people, including 24 members of foreign royalty, official representatives of 62 nations and 44 British dominions, colonies and dependencies, as well as the peerage and aristocracy of Britain.

The United States was represented by James W. Gerard, in knee breeches and silk stockings, and Gen. John J. Pershing, in dark blue, gold-encrusted uniform of a full general, with the broad crimson ribbon of Grand Commander .of the Bath. Next to the King and Queen, Dowager Queen Mary drew more attention than anyone present. The gathering murmured appreciation as she swept to the royal gallery, attended by the ladies and gentlemen of her household and accompanied by the Queen or Norway. Her face revealed the marks of strain during the abdication of her son, Edward VIII. It was the first time in more than two centuries that a mother has seen her son crowned in England.

greeted Princess Elizabeth, the 11-year-old daughter of the King, who wouid succeed him if he died without becoming father of a son, and the golden-haired Princess Margaret Rose. The children’s eyes sparkled with excitement. They wore miniature peeresses’ robes of scarlet velvet, with brief trains and cowls of ermine over ankle-length lace dresses. Carrying tiny coronets, they paced slowly to the royal gallery. Thirty-six-year-old Queen Elizabeth, the first commoner Queen in two and ‘a half centuries, was crowned after George with somewhat similar ceremonies, except that she was anointed only by the Archbishop of Canterbury pouring a few drops of oil on her head, while four peeresses held a canopy of cloth of gold above her. Elizabeth was dressed . in deep ivory duchesse satin,‘embroidered in gold thread and covered by a robe of royal purple velvet, with an 18foot heavy train edged and lined with ermine and supported by seven peeresses.

Queen’s Crown Platinum

Her crown, for the first time in history, was mounted on platinum and contained the world’s most famous gem, the Kohinoor diamond of 106 carats, larger than a bantam's egg, priceless historically, but intrinsically estimated at $700,000. It was supposedly discovered before the time of Christ and belonged to the Persian conqueror Nadir Shah two centuries ago. According to legend, it brings disaster to men wearers, but not to women. : The crown jewels and royal regalia,. although actually priceless, are estimated intrinsicaily at from 40 to 60 million dollars. Briefly, the coronation ceremony comprised 14 phases, First, the litany was sung by the Westminster choir, augmented to 400 voices, -as the Archbishop, bishops and other ecclesiasticals in gorgeous purple and gold, white and gold and green and white copes gathered at the west door awaiting the arrival of George and Elizabeth, and then formed a procession into the church to the altar.

King and Queen Enter

The second phase was the entrance into the church of the King and Queen, preceded by peers and peeresses carrying their regalia. The King's train was borne by nine peers, including Earl Haig and Earl Kitchener. The King was wearing

the royal crimson robe of state, the

Collar of the Garter and the cap of state. The royal procession paced slowly to the altar, the King and Queen knelt on faldstools, said private prayers and then sat in their chairs in the center of the so-called theater on a gold carpeted dais. The King's chair was raised five steps from the floor, but the Queen’s seat at the left was one step lower. The third phase was called the recognition. The ' Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Chancellor, Lord Hailsham; the Lord Great Chamberlain, Lord Ancaster; the Lord High Constable, Lord Crewe, and the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, walked successively to the east, south, west and north sides of the theater, and the Archbishop shouted:

service are you willing to do the same?” Meanwhile, the King arose and turned toward the people on the tour sides. Led by the Westminster Choir, the people repeatedly shouted, “God Save King George!” Then there was a blast of trumpets and the bishops brought the Bible, the paten and the chalice, and the lords who carried the regalia brought it to the altar and placed it there. Then the Archbishop said: “Sir, is Your Majesty willing to take the oath?” The King: “I am willing.” The Archbishop: “Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the peoples of Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Union of South Africa, of your possessions and other territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, and of your Empire of India, according to their respective laws and customs?” The King: “I solemnly promise to do so.”

King Pledges Justice

The Archbishop: “Will you to your power cause law and justice in mercy, to be executed in all your judgments?” The King: “I will.” The Archbishop: “Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant reformed religion established by law? And will you preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline and government thereof, as by the law established in England? And will you preserve unto the bishops and clergy of England, and to the churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them, or any of them?”

do. The things which I have here before promised, I will perform, and keep. So help me God.” Upon taking the oath the King uncovered and kissed the Bible and signed the oath. Then the King returned to his chair, and the Archbishop administered the declaration prescribed by Parliament which the King repeated. The fifth phase was the communion service, and the sixth phase was the anointing. In the seventh, Lord Ancaster i knelt. and touched George's heels | with solid gold spurs, and the Arch= | bishop presented to the King’s right hand a sword studded with rubies, diamonds and emeralds, and then girded .the King with the sword. The King ungirded the sword and placed it upon the altar. A peer then redeemed it for 100 shillings, withdrew it from the scabbard and carried it naked before the King during the remainder of the ceremony. In the eighth phase the Dean of Westminster invested the King with the Armill or embroidered stole. He then placed around the King’s shoulders a robe royal of cloth of gold embroidered with eagles and | other emblems of the British Em- | pire, and Lord Ancaster fastened | the clasps.

The King and Queen weren't expected in Hoxton'’s poverty-ridden Essex St. but loyal Britens all, the residents chipped in ill-spared pennies to buy the pennants and flags with which they have given their thoroughfare a festive air that challenges the sumptuous dis-

sovereignty under the cross. The II, is a golden globe six inches in diameter, encircled by a band of gold, edged in pearls, and surmounted by a huge amethyst on

on the other. The Orb was then returned to the altar to leave the King's hands free for other symbols. The ninth phase was the investiture with the ring and scepters. The Archbishop placed on the fourth finger of the King’s right hand the corornation ring — a sapphire surrounded by diamonds and set with a cross of five rubies. It has been used since the coronation of William IV. The Archbishop then placed the royal scepter with the cross in the King's right hand. Its golden rod three feet in length is richly jeweled and set with a huge diamond known as the Lesser Star of Africa. In the King's left hand he placed the gold

feet, seven inches long, surmounted by a white enameled dove with outstretched wings, which signifies equity and mercy.

King Actually Crowned

The putting on of the crown was the ‘10th part of the ceremony. Owing to the weight of Saint Edward's crown, it was replaced during the ceremony by the imperial crown of state, which weighs two pounds, 11 ounces, or 11 times the weight of the ordinary hat.

The 11th phase was the presentation of the Holy Bible, which was handed to°the King by the Archbishop after the Dean of Westminster took it from the altar. After a brief word of presentation the King returned the Bible, and the Dean replaced it. The benediction, which the Archbishop conferred on the King, and the blessing, punctuated by loud “Amens” from the Archbishop of York and the other bishops, formed

Then, in the 14th phase, known as the homage, the Archbishop knelt before the King, pronounced his homage, and then rose and kissed the King's left cheek. The Duke of Gloucester, as first prince of the blood, did the same. while the rest of the princes of royal blood knelt in their places, removed . their coronets and pronounced words of homage. Meanwhile, thems, and when the homage ended drums beat and the blasts of trumpets re-echoed through the columns, and the people shouted, “God Save King George! Long Live King George! May the King Live Forever!” This ended the King’s coronation.
