HELP FOR THE QUEEN
MODERN STR WALTER RALEIGH. London, June 26. A modern Sir Walter Raleigh came to the Queen’s assistance to-day when her Majesty’s limousine temporarily broke down while she was shopping in the West End. The Queen and her lady-in-waiting got out and waited on the pavement outside a motor salesman’s shop, the director of which, Air. Cyril Harrison, immediately volunteered to drive her Afajesty to Buckingham Palace. He offered to bring a clean motor-car from the showrooms but the Queen replied, ‘lt really doesn’t matter.” She entered a travel-stained sixcylinder landauette, in which a customer had just been given a trial spin, Mr. Harrington apologising for not having a uniformed chauffeur. He took the wheel, and was three times held up by traffic owing to the police not realising that the Queen was riding in a private car. He drove in at the private entrance to the. Palace, where the Queen thanked him and shook his hand.
