The Royal Marriage of Edward VIII

At long last the joyous date for the Royal Marriage has arrived. Crowds have gathered in their thousands all along the route travelled by the couple from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey. Domestic resistance to the marriage has increasingly showed its impotence, through symbolic resignations and other vain protests, and now seems all but silenced. The last such act was the retirement of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Lang, and his subsequent replacement with an individual more... amenable to the King's wishes. In the face of the political turmoil this crisis has caused, the celebrations now on-going are a deeply necessary in returning a semblance of normalcy to public affairs, and as a starting point from which to resolve the present political issues.
