Blinkers Coach Coachman Coronation 1936 Liveried
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the historic moment as the liveried coachman takes his position on the Royal state carriage for the coronation of King George VI in 1936. The coronation, which took place on May 12, 1936, at Westminster Abbey in London, marked the official installation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth as monarchs of the United Kingdom and the Dominions. The coachman, dressed in his formal livery, wears a top hat and holds the reins of the horses with a confident and resolute expression. The horses, adorned with ornate harnesses and blinders, stand still, ready for the procession. The carriage, a magnificent display of craftsmanship, is adorned with gold and intricate designs, reflecting the grandeur and opulence of the coronation. The coronation of George VI was a significant event in British history, as it marked the end of the abdication crisis that had preceded it. King Edward VIII had abdicated the throne just months earlier due to his desire to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. George VI, who had previously been the Duke of York, ascended to the throne, and his wife, Elizabeth, became Queen Consort. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the coronation procession, providing a window into the past and the rich history of the British monarchy. The coachman, the horses, and the carriage all play essential roles in this grand event, adding to the pageantry and spectacle of the coronation of King George VI.
