15,000 leading Welshmen witnessed

of a nature to appeal strongly to
a Celtic people.
A Pretty Ceremony

Wearing a crimson mantle,
young Prince Edward was formally
presented before King George,
who was robed in purple and gold
and wearing the stately trappings
emblematic of his Royal station.
With his own hands the King
placed upen Prince Edward's head
a chaplet of gold, made in the form
of a garland, as a token of prin-
cipality. Next the King put into
the Prince’s hand a sceptre of
gold, the emblem of government.
Finally, his Majesty placed a
ring of gold upon his firstborn’s
middle finger at the same time
adjuring him to be a husband to
his country and a father to its
childfren.

the Prince of Wales to a species of

due solemnity, the investure proper
was completed. Then followed
the picturesque act of the Prince’s
presentation to the people.

A fanfare of trumpets announced
that the ceremony inside the castle
was concluded, while over 100,000
people outside the castle craned
for a good view of the King and
Queen and the young Prince as
they mounted to their place above
the Gate. From this same spot
seven centuries ago, King Edward
I. presented his infant son to the
Welsh people to be their Prince.
There was a breathless hush while
King George V. stood forward and
in ringing tones presented his
own first-born as Prince of Wales.

Thunderous cheers greeted: the
King’s announcement, which were
repeated again and again. For
