The King visits his Fleet. The illustration top left shows the King, as First Admiral of the Fleet, going on board the flagship of the Home Fleet, H.M.s. Nelson, at Weymouth on July 12. The King is followed by Admiral Sir Hubert Brand, the Prince of Wales and Prince George. Below is a striking contrast with this naval picture of the present day, for the man with the full beard and the sword is dressed as Francis Drake, who as a seaman is second only to Nelson. Drake is one of a number of men and women taking part in an Elizabethan pageant held on Plymouth Hoe last month. Some people may think that the building of cathedrals and abbeys in the styles so well known in Britain is a work of the past, but Liverpool Cathedral and Buckfast Abbey, Devon, are among the new churches that show this to be an error. Buckfast Abbey is a particularly interesting example because it was built, after the medieval fashion, by the monks themselves. Six self-taught monks have been working on the new building for twenty-five years and it is to be consecrated. The picture above shows the interior of the new building, and below are three of the builders—Brothers Hilarion, Peter and Ignatius.
