"TO MY PEOPLE"
On the eve of my Coronation, an event which I
look upon as one of the most solemn and important in
my life, I am anxious to express to my people at home
and in the Colonies and in India my heartfelt appre-
ciation of the deep sympathy which they have mani-
fested towards me during the time that my life was in,
such imminent danger.
The postponement of the ceremony owing to my
illness caused, I fear, much inconvenience and trouble
to all those who intended to celebrate it, but their
disappointment was borne by them with admirable
patience and temper. The prayers of my people for
my recovery were heard, and I now offer up my deepest
gratitude to Divine Providence for having preserved
my life and given me strength to fulfil the important
duties which devolve upon me as the sovereign of this
great Empire.
