On Corfu, British officials transfer administration of the Ionian Islands to Greece

Sir Henry Storks, the last British High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands, off the western coast of Greece, turned over all offices to the new Greek provincial commissioner.  Nine days later, with the newly-crowned King of the Hellenes in attendance, formal ceremonies cemented the official return of the islands to Greece.
