almost identical in form with that
which has been followed i'll the investi-

anything that the nation has witnessed
in the past. These will include the
progress OF the court through London

visit to the Guild hall with a recep-
ton of the King and Queen by the
city authorities there, a great naval
review, q gala performance at the
