Earlier today, the King "reviewed troops, granted audiences to diplomats and tried out a new automobile in the rain."
The guest list for the dinner, which was published in the Court Circular, included the Duke and Duchess of York, Sir Samuel and Lady Hoare, Sir Philip Sassoon, Viscount and Lady Willingdon, Lady Diana Coooper, the Winston Churchills, the Earl and Lady Stanhope, and Mrs. Ernest Simpson.
