EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in British history - the Coronation Procession for Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The bustling scene unfolds in Trafalgar Square, one of London's most iconic landmarks, located in the heart of the City of Westminster. From Charing Cross, we are granted a privileged view of this grand spectacle as crowds upon crowds gather to witness this historic ceremony. The image is alive with energy and excitement as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate their beloved monarch's ascension to the throne. Soldiers stand tall and proud, adding an air of regality to the scene, while majestic horses prance elegantly through the square. A magnificent coach can be seen at its center, symbolizing tradition and continuity amidst a rapidly changing world. This photograph not only documents a significant royal event but also serves as a testament to unity and national pride. It encapsulates both the anticipation felt by those present on that day and our collective admiration for Queen Elizabeth II throughout her reign. Preserved by Historic England's Property Services Agency, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever cherished. It reminds us of our shared heritage and invites reflection on how traditions shape our identity as individuals and as a nation.
