THE SOCIETY WEDDING.
A BRILLIANT FUNCTION. SAILORS DRAG BRIDAL CAR. By Telegraph.—Pre« Assn —Copyright. Received July 19, 5J5 p.m. London, July 18. The King and Queen, with Queen Alexandra and Princess Mary Viscountess Lascelles, the Kings sons and many Royalties attended the Ashley - Mountbatten wedding. There was a big crowd outside St. Margaret’s, some of whom had been waiting since dawn. The church was decorated with blue delphiniums, matching the bridesmaids’ dresses. The Prince of Wales carried out the best man’s duties with success. Sailors of the Renown furnished the Guard of Honor. They tied ropes to the bridal motor-car and dragged it through the streets. Fourteen hundred attended the reception at Brook House. The presents were wonderful in their variety and richness, and included a diamond brooch from the King and Queen to the bride, who is King Edward’s god-daughter. Lord Louis Mountbatten, on his wedding day. was promoted a Knight Commander of the Victorian Order. “WHEN’S YOUR TURN, TEDDY * CROWDS AND THE PRINCE. ‘ Received July 19, 10.45 p.m. London, July 18. -When’s your turn. Teddy?” shouted the crowds in the streets when the Prince of Wales was on his way to the church with Ixyrd Mountbatten, and the Prince smiled broadlv by way of reply. The bride passed through crowds looking neither to the right nor *left. The fart that the precise route was kept a close secret suggested that the bride shrank from the unaccustomed limelight fo*m»«eJ on this wedding and nervousness probably accounted for her seeming impassivity as she passed through the crowds. which began to gather at five in the morning, chiefly in Parliament Square, opposite the church, and overflowed into the adjacent streets. Many paid high prices for stands and saw nothing. The Prince of Wales and the bridegroom were among the earliest arrivals. The crowds who swarmed around the car were swept aside by mounted and foot police, but their shouts showed that the best man was in their view; on this occasion it was the best man and not the bridegroom. "Good old Prince.” they cried, and reiterated questions as to his future.—United Service.
