Princess Elizabeth
Places Wreath On
Washington's Tomb
/
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 Princess Elizabeth today
placed a wreath on the tomb of George Washington, the man
who played a major role in taking this country out of the
British empire.
It was a simple ceremony. Elizabeth and Philip, the Duke
of Edinburgh, took the wreath and walked alone with it
into
the tomb. They placed it against the back wall.
When they came out, Philip
