Gilmore Seies
Young Queen As
Hope Of British
The British see in their love of
and enthusiasm for their new
queen a symbol of all their old
greatness and a potential renewal
of that Neatness, Voit Gilmore, of
Southern Pines, told the Sandhills
Kiwanis club at its meeting on
Wednesday in the Southern Pines
Country club.
Mr. Gilmore, recently returned
from London, gave the club mem
bers a glowing picture of Queen
Elizabeth. He was most impress- ,
ed, he said, by the complete spirit
of devotion to their monarch by
the English people, and its engen
dering of “a fever of excitement
around the world.” He termed the
young Queen a “heavenly figure.”
The Gilmores witnessed the cor
onation parade from “medium-
priced $60 seats” in stands on a
corner of Hyde Park which,
though the ceremony was not
scheduled until 11 a.m., they were
required to occupy by i. “We had
to get up at 5, but found everyone
else also up and ready. It was
just like midday. It reminded me
of Duke-Carolina football game,
the thousands upon thousands of
people hurrying to their seats.”
After witnessing the coronation
ceremony over television, and
seeing the ensuing parade in
the afternoon, the Gilmores walk
ed past Buckingham Palace and
saw the royal family assembled
on the balcony waving to tfie
crowds. They had previously seen
young Prince Charlie peeking —
and saluting—from his window in
the palace, periodically hauled
back by a nurse.
“A return to the peace and
prosperity of the Elizabethan era
is the hope of the British, and
their devotion to their Queeri may
lead to a realization of this,” Gil
more concluded.
