THE KING AND PEOPLE.
HIS MAJESTY'S THANKS. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright. Received 2, 5.5 p.m. London, July 1. The King, in a letter to the people, writes:— "Now the Coronation and its attendant ceremonies are over, I desire to assure the people of the British Empire of my grateful sense that their hearts have been with me through all. I felt this in the beautiful and impressive service at Westminster Abbey, which was the most solemn experience of my life, and scarcely less in the stirring scenes of the succeeding days, when my people* signified'! their recognition and heartfelt welcome to me as their Sovereign. This was apparent not only in the local enthusiasm on Coronation Day during my progress through the different districts of London, but also in the thousands of messages of goodwill which came across the seas from every part of the Empire. Such affectionate demonstrations have profoundly touched mo and filled.me afresh with faith and confidence."
