KING WELL AND ACTIVE
SANDRINGHAM STAY WORKS WONDERS LIFE OF COUNTRY GENTLEMAN British Official Wireless RUGBY, Thursday. The Prince of Wales will represent the King at the Armistice Day service at the Cenotaph. The service last year was the occasion of the last public appearance of the King before his illness. It was not anticipated that the King would attend the service this, year. A Press Association message says the announcement that the King will not appear at the Cenotaph service, for the first time since the war, need not be accepted as an indication that his Majesty’s health forbids it. In point of fact it is authoritatively learned that seven weeks’ rest at his favourite home, Sandringham, has worked such wonders that the King looks better now than in the months preceding his illness. An additional reason is that he enjoyed more complete leisure than he has ever before permitted himself.
Whose who saw the King today when he left on a short drive from Sandringham with the Queen realised that he was the King whom the nation familiarly knows. Alert, intent, healthy, vigorous and active, he glanced appreciatively at the autumn countryside. HIS DEAREST WISH The King’s exceptional gift of the recollection of faces and events lias not been interrupted. Another example of his revived energy is the neighbourly interest he is again evincing in the affairs of the villagers. His Majesty is quietly enjoying the life of a country gentleman. His dearest wish is once again to enjoy the shooting. When he is not motoring he frequently visits the dairy and stables of Sandringham House. The afternoons he spends rambling in the grounds, sometimes afoot with a dog and sometimes riding a shooting pony. Sometimes the King rides in his small, six-wheeled motor-car which, tank fashion, surmounts the Inequalities of the route. Frequently he fishes in the lake from a Canadian canoe. Sandringham will probably remain the King’s home until after Christmas.
