The Duke of York spent half an hour with Queen Mary in the morning. Cabinet adjourned at 12.35 p.m. and the general impression is that Ministers are considering communications from the Dominions.

Wedgwood says 'that; he is inundated with .telegrams from i all parts of Britain and the Empire j approving of his motion, the purpose j of which is to prevent the King’s abdication and secure for him thei rights of an ordinary' decent citizen. Three taxi loads of young people alighted at the Palace just as the! Guard was changing and gave three cheers for the JGng, singing “God save the King” and “For he’s a jolly good fellow.” They explained that they simply wished .to show • 'their , loyalty to the King.
