EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of grandeur and historical significance during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The image focuses on the west door of Westminster Abbey, where an array of ornate coaches, each drawn by a team of pristine horses, are lined up. The coaches are accompanied by their respective escorts, who proudly represent the Commonwealth prime ministers of the time. Among the distinguished figures present are Sir Alexander Douglas Home of Terrell, Prime Minister of New Zealand, Sir Lester Bowles Pearson of Canada, and Sir Malcolm MacDonald of the United Kingdom. The crowd, a sea of hats and umbrellas, eagerly awaits the arrival of the monarch. The atmosphere is electric, filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement. The second carriage, carrying the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, is about to make its way through the throng of people towards the abbey. The scene is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the unity of the Commonwealth realms. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, transports us back to the fifties, a time of great royalty and pageantry. The image encapsulates the essence of a momentous occasion, one that will forever be etched in the annals of history.
