Description: Press photo of Bishop Homer A. Tomlinson sitting in front of Trafalgar Square holding a world globe and a Bible; November 26, 1959.
Back of photo says: KING HOMER sits alone in Trafalgar Square after he had 'crowned' himself 'KING OF ASIA' at the ceremony this morning.
News item printed on back of photo says: SELF-STYLED 'KING OF THE WORLD' CROWNS HIMSELF 'KING OF ASIA' in London. BISHOP HOMER A. TOMLINSON, of New York, who claims he is 'KING OF THE WORLD', added all Asia to his 'realm' when he set up his portable throne attired in a pink robe fashioned from a sari and placed a yellow gold crown on his head in Trafalgar Square, London, today. 'KING' Homer is head of an American sect, 'The Church of God', founded by his father in a mountain log-cabin back in the 30's. He says his mission is to bring exploits of peace to all nations. He is also standing for election as President of the United States and is confident he will be elected for two terms.
