So far as the main, celebration in London is concerned, it has been decided that the Honourable Artillery Company should provide a guard of honour at St. Paul's Cathedral on the occasion of the Thanksgiving Service. Other units of the Territorial Army in London will have the opportunity of lining the route to and from St. Paul's Cathedral. In Cardiff and Edinburgh similarly, units of the Territorial Army will line the streets when His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and His Royal Highness The Duke of York respectively represent His Majesty at these places. In the local celebrations elsewhere General Officers Commanding-in-Chief will collaborate with the Lord Lieutenants of the counties so that Territorial Army troops may take part in celebrations in proximity to the places where they normally drill. All Territorial Army troops parading for the celebrations on the 6th May, or on the 11th May in the case of Cardiff and Edinburgh, will receive pay and ration allowance for that day.
