EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in British history - the coronation procession for Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Taken from the vantage point of Admiralty Arch's roof, the elevated view provides a stunning perspective of Trafalgar Square and its surroundings. The image showcases an expanse filled with jubilant crowds lining the streets, eagerly awaiting a glimpse of their beloved monarch. The atmosphere is electric as soldiers stand tall, resplendent in their uniforms, while horses prance gracefully alongside them. A majestic coach takes center stage, adorned with regal embellishments fit for a queen. It is undoubtedly carrying Queen Elizabeth II herself on this momentous day. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the sense of celebration and grandeur that permeated London during this historic occasion. The sea of people reflects the nation's collective joy and pride as they come together to honor their new queen. Preserved by Property Services Agency and now part of Historic England's collection, this print serves as a testament to both royal tradition and national unity. It allows us to step back in time and witness firsthand an unforgettable chapter in British royalty.
