King, Queen to ride to Parliament
LONDON, England (UP) – George and Queen Elizabeth will give London an impromptu royal victory parade tomorrow when they drive through the city for the formal opening of the new Parliament.
The King, in service dress, will ride with the Queen from Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament in an open coach behind four gray horses.
The procession was planned in detail some time ago, but the Jap surrender, if confirmed by that time, will turn it into a public victory celebration.
The King will deliver his address to Parliament in the morning, outlining the new Labor government’s legislative program, after which Prime Minister Attlee will open debate on the program. Ex-Prime Minister Churchill is expected to speak as leader of the opposition.
