The Dowager Queen Alexandra, in a message to the nation, declares: "From the depth of my poor broken heart I wish to express my deep-felt thanks for all your touching sympathy in my overwhelming sorrow and unspeakable anguish. The nation, too, •has suffered an irreparable loss in its best friend, father, and Sovereign, who thus suddenly has been called away. May God give us all his Divine help to bear this heaviest of crosses He has seen fit to lay upon us. His will- be done. Give me a thought in your prayers, which will comfort and sustain me in all I still have to go through."
