Researcher Comments
The cry: Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! We, the holders of the oldest office in Britain, salute you good people at Hastings by the sea. Long before press and television we cried the King’s commands and brought the news of the day. Still pursuing our ancient calling we give you current important tidings, wish you well, and cry with heart and voice: God save the Queen!
