These
momentous
announcements
were
made
at
3:42
this
afternoon
at
one
of
the
most
dramatic
sessions
of
Parliament
Great
Britain
has
ever
seen.
Formal
reading
of
the
King's
message
of
abdication
was
rrjade
by
Csp.
Edward
Alg
ernon
Fitzroy,
Speaker
of
he
House
of
Commons,
after
Prime
Minister
Stanley
Baldwin
had
gone
to
the
bar
of
the
House
and
made
ths
announcement
to
the.
members
that
he
had
a
message
from
His
Majesty
the
King
signed
by
his
own
hand
renouncing
the
Throne.
King
Edward's
words,
in
his
message
renouncing
;the
Throne
as
read
by
the
Speaker,
were:
"I
have
determined
to
renounce
the
Throne.
After
long
and
anxious
consideration
I
have
determined
to
renounce
the
Throne
to
which
I
succeeded
on
the
death
of
my
father
and
I
am
now
communicating
this
my
final
and
irrevocable
decision.
'
,.
"Realizing,
as
I
do,
the
gravity
of
this
step
I
can
only
hope
that
I
shall
have
ly
e
understanding
of
my
peoples
in
the
decision
I
have
taken
and
the
reasons
which
have
led
me
to
take
it.
I
will
not
enter
now
into
my
private
feelings
but
I
would
aeg
that
U
should
be
remembered
that
the
burden
which
constantly
rests
upon
the
shoulders
of
a
sovereign
is
so
heavy
that
it
can
only
be
borne
in
circumstances
different
from
those
in
which
I
now
find
myself.
"I
conceive
that
I
am
not
overlooking
the
duty
that
rests
upon
me
to
place
in
the
forefront
public
interest
when
I
declare
that
I
am
conscious
that
I
can
no
longer
discharge
this
heavy
task
with
efficiency
or
satisfaction
to
myself.
I
have
accordingly
this
morning
issued
.an
instrument
of
abdication
in
the
jerms
followin,
"
'I
Edward
VIII,
of
Great
Britain,
Ireland
and
the
British
Dominions
beyond

Seas,
King
and
Emperor
of
India,
do
hereby
declare
my
irrevocable
determination
to
renounce
the
Throne
for
myself
and
for
my
descendants
and
my
desire
that,
effect
should
be
given
to
this
instrument
of
abdication
immediately.'

"I
am
deeply

and

the
Throne
and
which
I
know
will
extend
in
full
measure

successor.
