At the Guildhall
Speech by M. Lebrun, preceded by the Lord Mayor of London's Address of Welcome
(From the Guildhall)
As was the case on the occasion of the last State visit of a President of France to London in 1908, the Lord Mayor of London will entertain the President to luncheon at the Guildhall. Among the distinguished guests (numbering 800) will be the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and a large number of the Cabinet, and of the French colony in London.
An escort of Household Cavalry will escort the President and Mme. Lebrun from Buckingham Palace, the Honourable Artillery Company will provide a Guard of Honour outside the Guildhall, while the Royal Artillery Band will play during the luncheon.
The scene will be described by Michael Standing , and listeners will hear the end of the Lord Mayor's speech in English and the President's speech in French in reply.
