Vil. was regarded in Dundee with the deepest regret and sorrow,
the expression of which was manifest and far-reaching. On 20th.
May, the day on which the remains of His Majesty were interred at
Windsor Castle, special services were conducted in several of the
churches in the city. Town and county dignitaries, officials, and
members of public bodies, marching in procession attended these func-
tions. As a mark of respect most of the shops and places of business
were closed for several hours, and the public works were shiit down
for the day at noon. On jMay 9tli George V. was proclaimed King
in front of the Town House in presence of an immense multitude.
