喬治五世對加冕典禮的描述

以下段落截取喬治五世的日記。

天氣陰沉多雲,有小陣雨和強勁的涼風,但對人們來說比酷暑更好。今天確實是我們生命中一個偉大和值得紀念的日子,也是令我們難忘的一天,但卻讓我想起9年前親愛的父母加冕時許多的悲傷回憶。10點30分,我和乘坐由八匹白馬拉着的加冕馬車離開BP。在LD 基奇納的指揮下,有超過50,000名士兵在街道上排列。數十萬人給了我們盛大的接待。修道院裏的儀式是最美麗和令人印象深刻的,但這是一次可怕的磨難。它很宏偉,但很簡單,也很莊嚴,而且進展順利。大衛來向我致敬,這讓我想起了我對親愛的爸爸做了同樣的事情,他做得很好。親愛的看起來很可愛,她在我身邊確實讓我感到安慰,就像過去18年裏她一直對我一樣。2點15分,我們離開威斯敏斯特教堂。(11點之前到達)我們戴着王冠,手裏拿着權杖。這次我們的馬車途徑了聖詹姆斯街和皮卡迪利的購物中心,人潮洶湧,裝飾非常漂亮。在3點之前達到BP。我和到陽台上向人們展示自己。唐尼給我們拍了一張穿着長袍、戴着王冠的照片。與我們的客人在這裏共進午餐。和Bigge一起工作了整個下午和其他人回復的電報和信件,我有數百封。宮殿前聚集了這麼多人,我又走到陽台上。我們的客人於8點30分與我們共進晚餐。我和再次向人們展示了自己。寫和讀,累了。11點45分睡覺。到處都是美麗的燈飾。[1][a]

  1. ^ 英語原文:It was overcast & cloudy with slight showers & a strongish cool breeze, but better for the people than great heat. Today was indeed a great & memorable day in our lives & one which we can never forget, but it brought back to me many sad memories of 9 years ago when the beloved Parents were crowned. May & I left B.P. in the Coronation coach at 10.30. with 8 cream coloured horses. There were over 50,000 troops lining the streets under the command of Ld. Kitchener. There were hundreds of thousands of people who gave us a magnificent reception. The Service in the Abbey was most beautiful & impressive, but it was a terrible ordeal. It was grand, yet simple & most dignified & went without a hitch. I nearly broke down when dear David came to do homage to me, as it reminded me so much when I did the same thing to beloved Papa, he did it so well. Darling May looked lovely & it was indeed a comfort to me to have her by my side, as she has been ever to me during these last 18 years. We left Westminster Abbey at 2.15. (having arrived there before 11.0) with our Crowns on & sceptres in our hands. This time we drove by the Mall, St James' Street & Piccadilly, crowds enormous & decorations very pretty. On reaching B.P. just before 3.0. May & I went out on the balcony to show ourselves to the people. Downey photographed us in our robes with Crowns on. Had some lunch with our guests here. Worked all the afternoon with Bigge & others answering telegrams & letters of which I have hundreds. Such a large crowd collected in front of the Palace that I went out on balcony again. Our guests dined with us at 8.30. May & I showed ourselves again to the people. Wrote & read. Rather tired. Bed at 11.45. Beautiful illuminations everywhere.
