By ‘all odds, it was the greatest thow on earth. In ritual of solemn beauty, the king —and then Elizabeth—was recognized, anointed, pledged to rule with mercy and with justice and consecrated to govern a half billion persons. With sceptre, sword and orb, in rich raiments of church and state, seated in the scarred and ancient oaken coronaton chair above the hal- lowed stone of Scone, he received the crown on bowed head and heard the joyous shouts of millions: “God save the king!” 7,500 in Abbey The resplendent congregation of 7,500 within the walls that now have seen the crowning of 36 English kings, became a@ dazzling, living thing.

In the cars were the less important mem- bers of the royal family and the crown princes and other representa- tives of the nations of the world.

The venerable archbishop advanced slowly, met the king and queen be- neath the arch of the huge west door. Dignitaries in Procession Dignitaries of state and church formed and moved with the king and Queen through the long nave of the abbey to the throne, First came the recognition: “Birs, I here present unto you King George, your undoubted king.” The archbishop spoke loudly “wherefore all you who are come this day to do your homage and service, are you willing to do the same?” Tumult broke. Every British throat in the abbey swelled the cry, “God save King George!” only a thousand could see all the ceremony, but all could join the shouting: ‘ Trumpets sounded. Facing east, then south, west, north, the king turned to “show himself un- to the people.” Four times the archbisop chal- lenged, Ready For Oath Thus the king was recognized, ac- cepted sovereign of the British people, and ready for his ‘tion oath. “Sir, is your majesty willing to take the oath?” aie archbishop stood before the Slowly, deliberately the monarch answered: “T am willing.” The archbistiop: : “Will you solemnly PARAMOUNT TOMORROW (Thursday) YOU'D NEVER BELIEVE IT UNLESS YOUR OWN EYES TOLD YOU IT WAS SO! years ago.

The lord great chamberlain, kneel- ing, touched the monarch’s heels with golden spurs, emblems of chivalry. Other pieces of regalia were pre- sented to him. A beautiful sword in a scabbard was given into the king’s hands by the archbishop. The king was invested in imperial mantle and stole. The golden orb, surmounted by @ cross, was placed in his right hand. A ring was placed upon the fourth finger of the king’s right hand, “the ensign of kingly dignity.” Sceptres from the altar were placed in the king’s left hand? A procession of the churchmen, dean of Westminster carrying ‘the crown, moved toward King George. The archbishop took the crown. Solemnly and reverently he placed it on the monarch’s head.
