EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British history - the coronation procession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Taken from an elevated view on the roof of Admiralty Arch, the image showcases Trafalgar Square in all its grandeur. As one's eyes wander across the frame, they are met with a sea of jubilant crowds lining the streets, eagerly awaiting a glimpse of their beloved monarch. The atmosphere is electric as soldiers march proudly through the square, adding to the sense of ceremony and celebration that permeates every inch of this photograph. The vibrant energy emanating from both participants and spectators alike is palpable even decades later. The significance of this event cannot be overstated; it marked not only a new era for Britain but also symbolized unity and resilience after years of post-war recovery. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history and collective pride in our monarchy. Preserved by Historic England, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to step back in time and witness firsthand an extraordinary moment that shaped our nation's narrative.
