The Duke of Cornwall, Prince Charles of Britain, heir to the throne, did his mother proud. He was a good boy. It was only sometime later, after jthe crown of St. Edward had been placed on the head of Queen Eliza- | beth II and even after his father, |the Duke of Edinburgh, had ad- vanced to the altar for commun- ion--it 'was only then that the blonde darling of Britain became the four-year-old a four-year-old can be. | Prince Charles sucked his thumb. His granny, Queen Mother Eliza- beth, to whom was given the warm but perilous task of minding the youngster, whispered quick words to him and his royal dignity re- (turned. Charles again was a duti- ful son and heir. Prince Charles Was A Good Boy In the abbey, from a seat saved for him, two chubby hands gras the gallery ledge and two wonder- ing eyes peered over the railing at the wonderful things going on before him. Then the Queen Mother gave him something to stand on and Charles had a better view. His arrival in the abbey "caused a great craning of 7,500 necks. His aunt, 'Princess Margaret helped answer the questions that spring from childhood. The ques- tions became more and more abundant, but at the climactic mo- ment of crowning, there was not a better boy in all Christendom. Later the young prince became noticeably the liveliest person in the royal gallery. He became ser- iously engaged with the problem of a handkerchief that he found, pro- jecting from his left sleeve, He examined his hands with great dil- igence and care. He gazed most thoughtfully at his thumb which had found his mouth.

Seated with Elizabeth in the coach of state was the Duke of Edinburgh. The sovereign was lovely in the crimson velvet robe of state cover- ing her ornately embroidered white satin gown. The great coach was driverless. Instead, each horse was ridden by a postilion, and at the head of each animal walked a groom. Be- hind the coach was a brakeman. By each of the four wheels a guard walked. The Queen, smiling and radiant, nodded her head and continually raised her hand as wave after wave of cheering marked her pro- gress, at the pace of three miles an hour, down the Mall. Britain's top military and naval brass clattered down the Mall (ahead of the coach, some of them uneasily on high-spirited horses disturbed by the roar of the spect- ators. The escort to the abbey con- sisted of 1,250 members of the armed forces. An additional 8,150 men were ready to join in the big parade for the afternoon swing around the centre of the city, after the rites in the abbey. The state coach carrying the Queen and the Duke came through the palace gates at 10:26 am. A tremendous roar went up from the crowd. The Queen waved and smiled at the coach rolled along. The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret were greeted by a trum- pet fanfare at the abbey. The crowds rose in the stands cheer- ing wildly. The ear! marshal of the Coronation, the Duke of Nor- folk, waited to receive them. The 7,500 persons in the abbey rose as Princess Margaret walked slowly in.
