Coronation Week Crown Events Shine Amid Crowds at Buckingham
A grand day as the cavalcade impressed more than yesterday with crowds before the palace. King and Queen and the Prince of Wales appeared on the balcony amid sustained cheering. An ornate state banquet at the Foreign Office hosted by Sir Edward Grey drew sixty royal personages and notable foreign representatives, including John Hays Hammond and Rear Admiral Vreeland. The dinner, served at two long tables, featured lavish decorations, and Queen Mary was escorted by Hammond as King George greeted guests. Fewer Americans were seen at coronation events, with some blame on hotel rates.
