London, October 16

The 'marriage of an English prince to a Scottish princess appealed to the popular sentiment. Crowds lined the route and cheered the royal procession to the Chapel Royal. The wails were decorated with lilies, chrysanthemums, and smilax. The congregation in the chapel was an epitome of distinguished Englishmen and Scotchmen. There was a brilliant display of uniforms. In addition to royalties, members of the Cabinet, ambassadors from European courts, Japan, and America, attended. Bonfires were blazing on the hilltops in the north-east of Scotland, and there were great rejoicings of the Scottish tenantry.

The newly-married sent a message to Sanghenydd, saying: "In the moment of our great happiness our thoughts are with you ill your sorrow and distress."

By the King's orders, the wedding gifts were displayed at a small charge devoted to the Welsh Relief Fund.
