Queens Work Must Go On
(This is the fins) dispatch sn
coronation week by the son of
British Prime minister Sir Win
ston Churchill.)
By RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
Written For The UNITED PRESS
LONDON (VI Most people In
timately concerned in the work of
the coronation can now relax and
have a rest. Not so the queen.
For her the ceremony was only
the start of one of the busiest
months of her . life.
Yesterday morning at Bucking
ham Palace she was presenting
medal* to overseas contingents
from the commonwealth. Yesterday
afternoon she drove through the
streets of northeast London with
the Duke of Edinburgh and last
night she gave a great state ban
quet at Buckingham Palace for all
the commonwealth ministers and
heads of foreign delegations.
Her engagement book is studded
with live or six important and ex
hunting engagements each day
right to the end of July. “I do
sympathize with you ma’am in all
the anxieties you 'have ait this
time.” “Yes,” she replied, half in
earnest, half Jokingly, ‘I can har
dly get a wink of sleep at night;
I’m so excited about the Derby."
I DERBY IS SATURDAY
The Derby is to be run Saturday
and the queen’s horse. Aureole, is
thought to have a very good chance
of winning. The coronation was
part of the queen’s work which
she does superbly well and evi
dently enjoys. But racing is far
away her most important diver
sion and in the last year or so
she has acquired a very consider

able knowledge of horse breeding.
It would be a wonderful climax 1
to coronation week if the queen's
horse should win on Saturday.
The earl Marshal, the Duke of
Norfolk, whom .everyone is prais
ing for his tireless efficiency, which
was so well vindicated on coron
ation day. took a day off yester
day and spent it in the way he
likes most watching a cricket
match at Hove between Sussex and
the Australians. Among his many
and varied positions, which range
(from being chief butler to the
queen to chairman of the Sussex
County council finance committee,
the Duke is president of the Sus
sex Country Cricket Club.
Apart from taking ail the main
decisions in the organization of the
coronation, the Duke of Norfolk
personally conducted all the re
hearsals. It was a splendid sight
to see him in a Mack morning
coat with his earl marshal’s baton
in one hand and a hand micro
phone in the other walking with
measured step in the choir of the
Abbey, pausing every now and then
to haul the long lead up behind
him. He always spoke in calm
and level tones “a little more to
(f»e right, archhlshop,” *plespe
bring the crown Mr. Dean,” “no,
that's the wrong crown, please
bring the right one.”
It has been reported how the
fanfare of trumpets which greeted
the queen on her arrival at the
abbey wa| immediately followed
by the entrance, from the four
, corners of the theatre where the
crowning was to be done, of four
housemaids in white coats who
brushed away, with their besoms
and brooms, with frantic intensity
for a couple of minutes, and then
retreated to the posts nr comfort
stations from which they had em
erged.
CAREFULLY REHEARSED
The congregation roared with
laughter at this comical and, as
they must have supposed, un-re
hearsed anti-climax. In fact, the
activities of the four house-maidr ’
had been as carefully rehearsed
and timed as the entrance of the
queen herself.
One of the things which has im
pressed foreign visitors to London
has been the dignity of the crowds.
Though they had waited all night
before coronation and were soak
ed to the bone, they cheered with
immense enthusiasm, but there
was never a trace of that hysteria
which usually overcomes great
crowds in other countries on oc
casions of this sort. As one Amer
ican put it to me, they realized
they were in the presence of his
tory.

Sellers, 50, a grocer, awoke to see
a man armed with a slingshot
crawling across the room. He hit
the burglar with a pillow and
chased him into the arms of a
policeman.
At the same time Sellers’ wife
and two teen-aged daughters
caught the burglar’s accomplice.
He was carrying stones for the
slingshot.
