In spirit, every loyal subject today is garbed in the sable of mourning for the fallen Liege -Lord, Defender of the Faith, chivalric Knight -At -Arms who was our King. George VI, in every way, stood at the head of his people showing them, by heroic exairnple, fortitude in war; . magnanimity in peace. Sage counsellor: his were the shoulders which took the full burden of one of the gravest constitutional crises in our long history. Brave warrior: he it was who never flinched or falter- ed when the bombs rained down and his island kingdom became the front line in the fight against tyranny. In the Battle of Britain, the King stayed in Lohdon. Great-hearted Leader: he set out to journey through all his far-flung dominions and only failing health pre- vented his purpose. But everywhere he did go his people could say: "He is as full of valour as of kindness Princely in both." Dutiful son and understanding father: His Majesty, knew the ancient line which bore him and his duty to the splendid traditions of the British monarchy. And he knew, too, the warmth of his own hearth and the love of his own children. Every inch a king and every inch a man he leaves behind, in every aspect of his public and private duty, the living memory of a great and valiant heart which beat strongly to the last in the defence of all those benefits of freedom, liberty and faith which are ours to enjoy. The swelling sea, the open country which he loved, the warm ties of a great family of nations of many creeds and colours, the bond which unites man to man, are all more firmly ours because he lived and spent his life in the ser- vice of his people. "He who walked in our common ways, With the seal of a King on his brow; Who lived as a man among 'men his days, And 'belongs to the ages' now." In reverence we bow our heeds for the King who is dead.
