The
Right Worshipful Mayor
of Hastings,
Alderman H.W.Rymil, J.P.
I am delighted
to write a foreword to this book which is
given to you as a Coronation Souvenir by
the Council of our ancient Borough. I know
you will treasure it as an ever-pleasant
reminder of the Coronation of our
gracious Queen Elizabeth II. In its pages
you will find the splendid story of the
part our Sovereign plays in the government
and well-being of her people.
I
feel sure that you will be especially interested
in the picture of our Queen when, as Princess
Elizabeth, she visited Hastings, and when
as the picture shows, the children of Hastings
gathered together to show their affection
and loyalty to Her Royal Highness.
GOD SAVE THE
QUEEN
