The Queen and Prince Philip visited the island of Ceylon in 1954 and participated in striking ceremonies in Colombo, Kandy and Peradeniya University. The Senate Building at Peradeniya University was formally \u2018consecrated\u2019; and the Queen also visited the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. The Queen also visited the famous Trinity College with the Mayor of Kandy (EL Senanayake) as Aide of Honour. Here she honoured and was honoured by the Trinity cadet corps \u2026. a set of actions that reminds us of the \u201cEmpire loyalism\u201d that had prompted a number of Westernised Sri Lankans to enlist in the British armed forces during World War I as well as World War II (a topic recently documented** in the new illustrated book edited by Kumar Kirinde et al \u2014 entitled Volunteers from Ceylon \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..

EMAIL COMMENT from MEVAN PIERIS of S. Thomas\u2019 College, Colombo on 12 September 2022:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThanks Michael. Read with interest. She was a lovely lady in every respect. She has departed after weathering many palace upheavals. She remained the cornerstone of the United Kingdom and commanded the respect of the whole world. She wore many crowns of glistening diamonds, but as the great poet Tagore has said, no one can avoid a visit from the greatest visitor of all \u2013 Death; and when death visits one question is asked of all. \u201cWhat have you to offer me ?\u201d. The answer Tagore was ready to give was \u201d I lay at your feet all the honours, awards, trophies, and medals I have received and would follow Thee, bringing nothing with me\u201d. The Great Queen would now come face to face with the King of all, wearing a Crown of Thorns. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n
