							"WESTMINSTER-Whose Towers and Pinnacles are so fitting a background to the mediaeval pageantry of Coronation .... Nearby, Richard the Lion Heart flourishes his sword and Oliver Cromwell bows his head. Over the way Abraham Lincoln ponders weighty words and Victoria's Prime Ministers stand in silence. In the Abbey's Nave an Unknown Warrior sleeps peacefully, and in its Sanctuary another Elizabeth is at rest with her forebears. And over all is the Tower of Parliament and that Big Ben whose chimes the radio has made familiar the world round .... Westminster began as the shrine of a Saxon saint; it remains as a visible summary of British history." "Royal London."- L.P.T.B.
		This was the first occasion in the history of the Abbey that Choristers from overseas had taken such a part in one of its services. The Intercession was led by the Moderator of the Free Church Council (Rev. S. M. Watts, B.D.) and the Lesson read by Dr. 0. K. Ogan, of Nigeria. The Sermon was preached by the Most Reverend and Right Honourable the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury. This service was recorded.
						Evening was in Camp.
