London. Her Majesty had a splendid reception to London. At the Queen's invitation the members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons awaited her in the quadrangle at Buckingham Palace, where Her Majesty arrived at noon. After resting, the Queen went through the city accompanied by Princess Henry of Battenberg and Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein. Her Majesty was received with the ancient ceremonial at Temple Stairs, and returned to Buckingham Palace by way of Holborn. Flags and tricolour favours were universally displayed. The Queen was radiant, and was visibly overcome by emotion at the spon taneity of London's welcome, which in fervour equalled that shown during tne Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The Queen will pay a visit to Ireland early in April. v The visit will be of a private character, and will have no political complexion. It is undertaken at her Majesty's own spontaneous desire. In the course of the visit the Queen will reside at the Vice-regal lodge in Dnblin. j The idea of the royal visit is hailed with enthusiasm by all classes in Ireland as a gracious tribute to the valour I of the Irish soldiers, and a manifesta tion of sympathy with the families of those killed and wounded in South Africa. An order has been issued by the Queen that all ranks of the Irish regiments shall in future wear on St Patrick's Day a sprig of shamrock in their headdress. This order is made to commemorate the gallantry of the Irish regiments serving in South Africa. * The Queen will shortly create a regiment of Royal Irish Guards. The Queen's stay in London is being marked by displays of enthusiasm on the part of all classes. There was an enormous demonstration at Buckingham Palace whilst her Majesty was dining there on Thursday night. A carefully-organised choir of eight thousand voices sang the National Anthem and " Rule Britannia." A similar demonstration took place last night. The Queen came to an open window and stood waving her bands and bowing to the multitude* In the afternoon her Majesty drove through the streets, and was received with intense enthusiasm. Two thousand Grenadier Guards and Scsts Guards, belonging to the Eighth Army Division for south Africa were inspected by the Queen.
