“The Maple Leaf for Ever,” was played by a city band as Messrs Bennett, Scullin and Forbes advanced) to the platform at Guild Hall where they received the Freedom of London, contained in a gold casket. The band did not play the Australian and New Zealand anthems, probably being ignorant of what they were.
