Their Majesties Home Again
(Received 2.30 p.m.) RUGBY, July 22. The King and Queen concluded a memorable visit to France, when they embarked at Calais on the Admiralty yacht Enchantress, just before 6 p.m. Large crowds along the quayside cheered and waved farewell. The King and Queen drove to Buckingham Palace from Victoria Station, where they arrived at 9 p.m , through cheering crowds. Thousands greeted them at the station, and when the Royal car arrived at the Palace, sang “God Save the King,” and cheered and shouted until Their Majesties and the Princesses came out on the balcony. The King bowed and the Queen kissed her hand to the crowd. The Princesses waved, and the delighted crowd tossed hats in the air and repeatedly sang the National Anthem.
