The King, in a published letter addressed "To my people," ■says—"Now the Coronation and its attendant ceremonies are over I desire to assure the people of the British Empire of my grateful sense that their hearts have been with me through it all. ,1 felt this in the beautiful and impressive service in Wosminster Abbey, which was tho most' solemn experience of my life, and scarcely less in tho stirring scenes of the succeeding clays, when my pcoplo signified their recognition and heartfelt welcome to me as their Sovereign. This was apparent not only in the loyal enthusiasm of my Coronation Day progress through the different districts of London, but also in the thousands of messages of goodwill which have come across the sens from every part of the Empire Such an affectionate demonstration has profoundly touched: me, and filled me afresh with faith and confidence." The letter adds "I believe this generous outspoken sympathy with the Queen and myself is under God, our surest source of strength, and I am encouraged to go forward with renewed hope that whatever perplexities or difficulties may be before me and my people -we 'shall all unite in facing them resolutely and with public spirit, confident that, under the Divine guidance-, the ultimate outcome will be for I the common good."
