' The Queen, in replying to an address presented by the Lord -Mayor, said it gave her great pleasure to revisit the city which .was associated with the history of Great Britain and the colonies oversea. The sense of brotherhood was welding the Empire in peace, and this brotherly spirit had also been manifested in the hour of trial. The Queen congratulated the; district on the valour of its soldiers and sailors in South Africa.
Her Majesty then opened the convalescent home.
When leaving, the Queen remarked that it was a beautiful and noble home. A choir of 27,000 children sang several selections of music.
