FOR THE DUKE OF KENT IN ANCIENT BUCKINGHAMSHIRE CHURCH. DUCHESS DEEPLY DISTRESSED. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 12.5 p.m.) RUGBY, August 30. In the ancient parish church of St Peter, in the Buckinghamshire village of Tver, the Duchess of Kent . today attended a memorial service for the Duke. The Duchess several times was deeply distressed, particularly when the Bishop of Buckingham, who conducted the service, said: "Let us humbly remember, before God, the Duke of Kent and all those who died with him.” At the request of the Duchess, this was the only direct reference to the Duke. Another reference was to “those who had given their lives in service.”
Among the hymns the Duchess chose was the Easter hymn "On Resurrection Morning” and the psalm "The Lord is my Shepherd.”
