To reach the Silver Anniversary together is to have lived a lifetime with each other, to have grown to know each other as well as human beings may, to have shared adventures, hopes, joys, fears and disappointments: and when the marriage is a Royal Marriage, and the golden light of the Crown gleams on the silver, it is twenty-five years of history on which husband and wife look back, twenty five years of history which they themselves have, in some measure, helped to write. Since that Spring morning of 1923, when the young Duke of York led his lovely, smiling Duchess out of Westminster Abbey to be greeted by the cheering crowds of London, what a flood of history has poured through the arches of the years!....
