MEMORIAL SERVICE
THE DUkE OF KENT DUCHESS CHOOSES HYMNS (British Official Wireless.) . (2 p.m.) RUGBY, Aug. 30. In the ancient parish church of St. Peter, in the Buckinghamshire village of Iver, the Duchess of Kent to-day attended a , memorial service for the Duke of Kent. The Duchess several times was deeply distressed, particularly when the Bishop of Buckingham, who conducted the service, said: “Let us humbly remember before God the Duke of Kent and all those who died with him.” At the request of the Duchess this was the only direct reference to the Duke. At other times the reference was to “those who have given their lives in service.” Among the hymns the Duchess chose was the Easter hymn, “On Resurrection Morning,” and the Psalm, “The Lord is My Shepherd.”
