EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the supreme moment during the coronation ceremony of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, held at Westminster Abbey in 1953. In the image, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, places the iconic St. Edward's Crown on the monarch's head. The Queen sits elegantly on King Edward's Chair, draped in the Pall of Cloth-of-Gold and adorned with the Stole Royal, Armills, and the Ring. Her right hand holds the Sceptre with the Cross, while her left hand cradles the Rod with the Dove. The Archbishop stands to the side for the convenience of the picture, while the Bishop of Durham stands at the Queen's right hand. This solemn and historic occasion marked the formal installation of Queen Elizabeth II as the monarch of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and other Commonwealth realms. The coronation ceremony, steeped in tradition and symbolism, solidified the monarchy's role in British society and signified the beginning of a new era for the Queen and the Commonwealth.
