London gave Yuri Gagarin the world's first man to space a great reception today (11-7-1961). There were cheers and applause at London Airport. And more cheers as the twenty-seven-year-old Soviet spaceman drove to the Russian Embassy in London before going on to Earl's Court for lunch at the Soviet Exhibition. Major Gagarin was driven in a Silver Cloud Rolls Royce from the airport and its registration number, in honour of the Major, was Y.G.I.
