A POSSIBILITY
CORONATION MAY BE TELEVISED Collie Knox writing in the London Daily Mail says “I understand that subject to the King’s consent, the 8.8. C. will prepare forthwith for thei broadcasting to the world of the Coronation ceremony in Westminster Abbey, with all its gorgeous pageantry, on Wednesday, May 12, next year. If the 8.8.C.’s new television service is sufficiently advanced the television director intends to televise parts of the royal procession as it wends to and from the Abbey. As at the broadcast of the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, at least 14 microphones will be used. The world will listen to the King’s reply when the Archbishop of Canterbury administers the Coronation Oath. At the conclusion of the service, when the Crown is placed on the King’s head, the vast congregation shouts “God Save the King,” and the guns at the Tower of London thunder that King Edward VIII is crowned, the people of the Empire will hear.”
