EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, makes her grand entrance into the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey for her sister's coronation ceremony on June 2, 1953. Dressed in regal attire, Princess Margaret, with an air of poise and confidence, leads the procession towards the Coronation Theatre. Her long train, delicately carried by Miss Iris Peake, flows gracefully behind her, adding to the grandeur of the moment. Following closely behind, Albemarle Bowes Lyon, a page in the royal household, carries the coronet that will be placed upon the Princess's head during the ceremony. The Heralds of Richmond, York, Chester, and Lancaster, dressed in their ceremonial robes and carrying their heraldic staffs, bring an air of tradition and history to the procession. In the foreground, the Throne, adorned with intricate gold and jewels, stands as a symbol of the power and authority that will be bestowed upon the Queen.

This photograph captures the essence of the grandeur and pageantry of the coronation ceremony, a moment in history that will be remembered for generations to come. The intricate details of the robes, the heraldic staffs, and the Throne all contribute to the sense of tradition and history that surrounds the event. The entrance of Princess Margaret, with her train carried by Miss Iris Peake and her page Albemarle Bowes Lyon, marks the beginning of a day filled with regal ceremony and celebration.
