FORMER RULERS
REBURIAL IN GREECE WEEPING PEOPLE'S HOMAGE ATHENS, Nov. 22 Crowds of weeping people knelt in the streets as the coffins of King Constantine, Queen Sophia and Queen Olga, borne on gun-carriages, followed by King George, statesmen and court officials, passed to the cathedral. After the service they were taken to the King's summer residence at Dekelia Tatoi, where they were reburied in the Royal cemetery. It is estimated that 1,000,000 people have witnessed the lying-in-state since Tuesday.
