General Dwight Eisenhower received a tumultuous welcome from the people of London June 12, when he drove in an open carriage through the city to the Guildhall where he received the Freedom of the city of London. After the ceremony, Gen. Eisenhower drove to the Mansion House where he was guest of honor at a luncheon given by the Lord Mayor and attended by the Prime Minister.
