LONDON, April 26. - King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, whose domesticity has endeared them to home-loving Britons, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary today amid Empire-wide rejoicing.
As congratulations poured in from far-off dominions, London plunged into the biggest display of Royal pageantry since Princess Elizabeth married Philip last November.
From early morning thousands streamed into the capital to watch the Royal Family drive in state from Buckingham Palace to St. Paul's Cathedral for a national service of thanksgiving.
Flags of virtually all nations decked the "silver bridal path" where thousands waited to cheer their rulers.
Two 41-gun salutes signalled the start of the procession.
Radiant with happiness, Queen Elizabeth acknowledged the cheers with a white-gloved hand.
