Princess Marina, tho fiancee of Prince George, had a triumphant journey from Folkestone to London. Thousands cheered her on disembarking from the Channel steamer and shouted, “Welcome, our Princess,” meli and women waving hats and handkerchiefs. As tho train sped to London, country folk waved greetings. Princess Marina described the reception as ' “really too marvellous.” Prince George welcomed the Princess with an affectionate kiss as she descended from the train at Victoria Station. Thousands, mostly women, waited hours to see Princess Marina. The pair drove to York House, crowds strewing flowers on the way. In response to vociferous cheering, the couple appeared at a window, Prince George blushing like a schoolboy. Princess Marina was more at ease. She caught the crowd’s enthusiasm and waved both hands vigorously. Equally large and enthusiastic crowds gathered at King’s Cross, from which station Prince George, Princess Marina and the latter’s parents departed for Balmoral. Princess Marina opened the window of her carriage and cried, “Thank you,” and waved to the crowd until the train was out of sight.
