EXCITED RESIDENTS

UNCONTKOLLEI) JOY CHILDREN CLIMB ON CAR CYCLIST'S WILD BLUEBELLS LITTLE PRINCESS' DELIGHT By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received May 13, 8.35 p.m.) LONDON, May 13 The unexpectedness of Their Majesties' visit to the East End yesterday made it impossible for the police entirely to control the residents' enthusiasm. As the big Royal car was slowly moving in the West India Dock district, two boys and girls attempted to clamber on to the running board. Their mother rushed up and pulled them off. The Queen gave the mother an approving smile, while Princess Elizabeth climbed on the back seat and looked out of the window to see if the overenthusiastic children were hurt as they tumbled off the running board. In another part a cyclist who had been gathering wild blue-bells in Epping Forest attempted to throw them into Their Majesties' car. The Queen laughingly pointed out the incident to the King. Princess Elizabeth, who was bareheaded and dressed in blue, obviously was delighted at the experience. E or a time she sat on the King's knees in order better to see the crowd through the windows.

HOME DECORATED

OLD LADY'S LOYALTY THEIR MAJESTIES' APPRECIATION (Received May 13, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. May 12 The farthest point of Their Majesties' drive to-day was Limehouse, where the chauffeur was instructed to seek a house which the occupier, Mrs. Emily Bee, had painted red, white and blue. She was an old-age pensioner, and a widow. She told the press: " I had no bunting to put beside my coronation flag, so I dyed and hung out some pillow-cases and then painted the whole front of the house. " I longed so much to see the procession on Monday, but I dared not face the jostling crowds. Imagine my joy when Their Majesties came and stopped to look at my house to-day. The King raised his hat and the Queen gave me a smile I shall remember until my dying day. " It was the greatest surprise of my life. I still cannot believe it was not a dream."

OWN COMPOSITION

HIS MAJESTY'S SPEECHES QUEEN'S HAPPY GUIDANCE LONDON, May 12 The Sunday' Express says the King wrote every word of his broadcast and Westminster Hall speeches himself. H« turned for guidance only to the Queen, who suggested some happy, homely phrases. Another source says His Majesty seems to be 10 years younger since the Silver Jubilee. Always somewhat shy, he feels now thoroughly assured of the personal affection of his people.
