If flags were flying it helped to dress the city. Mr Bowie said, but he advised those who have flagpoles on their buildings to check their flags, poles, and halyards for wear first
The City Council has one flag of Thailand for the occasion but it is doubtful whether there will be any others in the city At the civic reception, the King of Thailand is expected to give the city an autogr’ohed photograph of himself A return gift will be made to the Royal couole. probably a typical New Zealand scene.
