Winston As Parade Passes Canada House This is another in a series of Coronation Year letters from overseas written for The Clinton News -Record and other mem- bers of the Ontario Division •of the Canadian Weekly News - papers Association. (By R. G Like many of you I did not see the actual crowning ---I saw the parade passing to and from the Abbey and from a room in Ca- nada House watched the ceremony of the crowning in the Abbey. If I had been given an oppor- tunity to choose my own seat I would not have hada better one. I saw the parade on the way from the Palace as it came to Trafal- gar Square and swung right. With a pair of field glasses I had along I could look into the car - rages as they passed. As the Queen's Carriage swung around the turn I caught a glimpse of the Royal Couple as they waved. Then on return they passed di- rectly below us twice, each time within 25 feet of our gallery. From B gallery, which was the press box, we were high, enough to see into the vehicles but not too high to look down ,on the tops. Onthe first time past it had begun raining while the military units were passing, but before the Royal part of the procession came along the sun broke through and we were able to get colored movies. In less than an hour the par- ade started back past our stand again and turned at the monument towards the Palace. This time the rain again soaked everyone. Canadian troops including navy, army, and air force, formed a guard of honor on both sides of the route where the parade pass- ed Canada House. Those along the route were provided with slickers but when the parade came near each time these were removed and like the police and spectators they stood in the rain. Of course thousands of military and naval personnel did not have slickers at any time. In Seats At 5 a.m. Everyone coming to Canada House had been warned to be in their seats by six. a.m. However, most of us were there by five or soon after. We had purchased meal tick- ets with our seats at $6.80 for breakfast, morning ,coffee, and luncheon, Breakfast consisted of two slices of thin bread buttered and a dab of marmalade (if you could get it but it was all gone when I got served and a partly filled cup of tea or coffee. This we ba- lanced on our hands as no place was provided for us to sit or stand. Morning coffee included a square of cake and a sandwich again if you could get .it, Luncheon, which was served during the time the Abbey ser- vice was going on, consisted of a coldlate of vegetable salad let- tucep g , and tomato, with either a slice of cold meat or some cold chicken which included bones as well as meat, a dessert of fruit and a slice of tee cream and piece of cake, choice of tee or coffee. This we ate from our hands and I have pictures of sev- eral folk sitting on the thick rugs in the High Commissioner's of- fice, Parade A R'onderful Sight All at home have seen pictures of the parade by now but act- ually td watch it pass *as most inspiring. It did something that nothing else could. It was not the color and the pomp and uniforms so much as the Ioyelty of those millions' whir stood, not for hours, but fsir dee.% wedged in eo tightly that nota jot of pavement was visible among there, with the rein: coming clown time after time, Sortie had slickers, others net; sante ,a newspaper which soon got soaked but they did not move. Even efter they heel seers the pa - retie, poet once they stayed en anW other two . hours to see it pass again, With such loyalty as this We realee there is great tenth le assn'•:: the words, I'hete'tl always be enPett y. SIMPKIN) England." Carried On Stretchers St. John's Ambulance did an amazing service. From our seat we saw at least 50 persons car- ried away on stretchers, back be- yond the monument to where they were given temporary treat- ment. From here ambulances took those needing further as- sistance to hospitals. At first they called the ambu- lances to the spot but soon the service became overtaxed and an emergency place was set up. Had the weather been hot and humid perhapsmany more would have collapsed. We saw St. John's men take children and others away on foot, presumably to toilets as they brought them back later where they wormed back into the crowd. An amazing thing about the whole crowd was how they ma- naged for personal service. There were . no facilities nearly large enough to accommodate a small portion of them, Looking down from the railing of our covered balcony while rain was dripping on the bare heads of women below, I counted one hundred and twenty-five heads in an area not as big as the av- erage dining room. They never moved or tried to avoid the drip- ping rain as there was no place to move. Churchill Show On the return to the Palace when Sir Winston Churchill's coach came opposite us it veered from the parade. Units following were signalled on past and Winnie and his guests together with the mount- ed body guard stood there to see the balance of the parade. Immediately the shout went up, "We want Winnie," and he leaned out the window and: wav- ed. Cheer after cheer broke out from the multitudes. As the balance of the parade passed the officers in charge of each unit saluted the Prime Min- ister's Coach. Mr. Churchill remained there while the Royal Carriage ap- proached and the Queen and the Duke both laughed and leaned towards the Prime Minister and waved to him. The Duke seemed really to enjoy this incident and I took colored movies. I believe we in Canada House press gal- lery have en exclusive on this. As the procession passed out of our view, making a right turn at the Square, there were cheers from the throng. But even then there seemed no rush to move on. I made my way out to the street, It had beena long day, just over 12 hours since I had entered tile building, 12 hours and the passing of the greatest pageant the world had ever seen. Mr Force Fly last In less than an hour, as soon as time allowed for the Queento get to the Palace and take her place at the balcony, the air force fly past began. I got as close as I could to this but crowds had filled the roads leading to the 'grounds down which the procession had recently passed. Around the t'a1aee the people had broken through the police Tines and filled the Square The flys-over was most thrilling. ,lets and ell the latest type of aireraft took part, including RCAF, These who had stood pecked there for 36 hours or more cheer- ed not the planes, but the Queen in the window. All during the bight the streets were filled with mefeinient, dan- cing, tied laughter. They who had endured the welting along the streets still were not exhausted but filled the pubs and drank and danced and later watched the fireworks disputes With you noxi wool& at the Harrison Family Holds. 18th Annual Wunion Seaforth Lions Park Tice 18th, annual reunion picnic of the Harrison family was a happy and sociable event for over 100 descendants, held in Lions Park, Seaforth, on Saturday, June 13.
