THE KING’S STAFF
BOGHOR ARRANGEMENTS BAGPIPES BEFORE BREAKFAST Prel* Association—By Titigraph—Copyright LONDON. January 31. The staff which will accompany the King to Bognor includes Pipe-major Forsyth, whose duty is to play Scottish airs outside the King’s bedroom every day except in wet weather. The custom was continued throughout the King’s illness, and Forsyth was usually most punctual, but one morning when the King was very ill he was a little late. The King inquired from the nurse shortly after 8 o’clock whether it was raining, but before she could answer the bagpipes' struck up, and the King said “Oh, no, it’s all right.” —United Service.
