The Coronation, which was scheduled for May 12, 1937, required the provision of temporary seating for the thousands of fortunate spectators who would line the processional route to witness the momentous event. The mass of steelwork and scaffolding in the photograph represents the intricate engineering and planning required to accommodate such a large crowd. The stands and galleries were a common feature of coronations, providing a unique opportunity for the public to be a part of the historic occasion.
