Welcome to Palmerston North.
Per Press Association. PALMERSTON N., This Day. Fine conditions prevailed to-day for Palmerston North’s official welcome to the Duke of Gloucester. To-day the Square was a sea of moving, excited humanity, united in a determination to show the Royal visitor how warmly Manawatu’s centre could greet him. The inspection of the Guard of Honour was impressive and there was an interesting interlude later when his Royal Highness presented the air race medals to Squadron-Leader M’Gregor and Mr H. C. Walker. “ I am glad to follow my brothers and my .sister-in-law in visiting this loyal and beautiftil Dominion,” said the Duke of Gloucester replying to the civic address. “ I know l shall derive equal enjoyment from my stay in your midst. I hope that situated at the junction of so many roads you may continue to give important service to the community and yourselves secure, the reward.”
