The King is recovering from the operation at Buckhingham Palace
1951: King has lung operation

England have

Crowds have gathered outside Buckingham Palace for news of King George VI following an operation to remove part of his lung.

A bulletin on the King's health posted on the gates of Buckingham Palace this afternoon said "anxiety must remain for some days" but "his immediate post-operative condition is satisfactory".

The statement was signed by the five doctors who have attended the King and spent last night at the palace prior to the operation.

The decision to operate was taken on Friday after doctors noticed "structural changes" in the King's lung, which were giving cause for concern.

Nurses moved into the palace on Friday night and oxygen cylinders and other medical equipment arrived during the day yesterday.

The operation began at around 1000 today (Sunday) and took most of the morning.

The Queen was at the palace and she was the first to hear from the doctors how the King had withstood the surgery.

News of the King's condition was then telephoned to Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh at Clarence House and to Queen Mary and other members of the royal family at Marlborough House.

The King was apparently moved to the comfort of his own bedroom immediately after the operation. He is being attended by nursing staff round-the-clock.

The Princess and her husband spent more than an hour at the Palace this evening. Queen Mary had left after visiting for nearly an hour a little earlier.

Princess Margaret flew in from Scotland to join her parents. She drove direct to the palace from London Airport.

Prince Charles and Princess Anne are the only members of the royal family remaining at Balmoral.

The Prime Minister Clement Attlee, who had also flown back to London from Scotland, has been kept informed of the King's progress at Number 10.

Special prayers are being said in churches throughout the country for the King's recovery.

Crowds gathered outside the palace and filed passed the railings where the bulletin on the King's health had been pinned. Police officers kept the crowd moving.

Charlie Chaplin and his wife Oona arrived at Waterloo to a rapturous reception

1952: Charlie Chaplin comes home

Artificially 1969: FilmTheTheAA  World famous film actor and director Charlie Chaplin has returned to England for the first time in 21 years.

He arrived with his wife Oona - daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neal - and their four children at Southampton on the Queen Elizabeth cruise liner.

He was greeted by hundreds of well-wishers and told waiting journalists he and his family planned to travel around the country.

"We're here for the opening of the benefit for the Royal Society for Teaching the Blind and then after that we have an idea of touring beautiful England and going to all the historical spots."

He added: "This is the first time that my wife has been abroad and naturally we're going to try andcramin as much as we can."

But he would not comment on reports that the US Attorney General James McGranery may not allow him to return to America pending an investigation into alleged "subsversive", left-wing activities.

The Chaplin family then took a train to London's Waterloo station where he was again greeted by cheering crowds.

Mr Chaplin later gave a press conference outside the Savoy Hotel where he told reporters it was a "shock" to see Waterloo Bridge - which has been rebuilt since he was last in the capital - but that Big Ben was "a beautiful sight".

He has come over from America to promote his latest film, Limelight, a story of life in the music hall set in 1917.

The premier will be shown on 16 October at the Odeon Cinema, Leicester Square.

Mr Chaplin was born in London in 1889, the son of music hall entertainers. His mother had a nervous breakdown and his father died when little Charlie was five.

He danced in the street for pennies with his half-brother, Sydney, and was then sent to an orphanage. He came to America when he was 17 with a troupe of players and in 1912 joined the Keystone company to appear in his first silent film, Making a Living.

In 1919 he co-founded United Artists and made such classics as The Kid (1921), City Lights (1928), Modern Times (1936), and The Great Dictator (1940).
