of Their Majesties
KING CHRISTIAN X of Denmark and Iceland and QUEEN ALEXANDRINE
Thanksgiving Service broadcast from Copenhagen
Cathedral including a description of the scene outside the Cathedral before and after the Service
Listeners will be taken over to Copenhagen a few minutes before the Service is due to begin, so that S. J. de Lotbiniere, Director of Outside Broadcasts, who has gone out to the Danish capital expressly for the purpose, can set the scene. He will describe the arrival of the royal procession, and give listeners a picture of the interior of the Cathedral-the candles and banners, the flags and hangings-and he will also interpret the course of the Service itself, which, being in Danish, will be difficult for most listeners to follow. Finally, in the News Summary at 10 p.m., it is hoped that he will be able to give listeners an account of the day's rejoicings and say something about the students' torchlight procession to the royal palace of Christiansborg.
