In the bright sunshine Wellington's ..rising generation will make a brave show in their red, white, and blue, and, what is-more to them, they will get a view of the Duke and Duchess at close" quarters.
Other features- of this afternoon's pageantry will. bo. musical.. rides Cand drives by mounted troops and artillery, the historical pageant of the Queens, and the "March of the Army through the Ages."
