EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white portrait, the Very Reverend Alan Campbell Don, K.C.V.O., Dean of Westminster since 1946, is depicted wearing the historic cope that holds significant tradition and symbolism in the British monarchy's coronation ceremony. The Dean of Westminster plays a pivotal role in assisting the Archbishop of Canterbury during this grand event, aiding in the Unction, Investiture, Crowning, and Administration of the Holy Communion. Born in 1885, Dr. Don's distinguished career began with his appointment as a Chaplain to the King from 1934 to 1946. He also served as a Canon of Westminster and Rector of St. Margaret, Westminster, from 1941 to 1946, and as a Chaplain to the Speaker of the House of Commons from 1936 to 1946. The Dean is seen wearing the magnificent cope, which was meticulously crafted for the Coronation of Charles II in 1661. The intricate design and rich fabric exude an aura of grandeur and solemnity, reflecting the importance of the role the Dean plays in this ancient and revered ceremony. Dr. Don's portrait encapsulates the essence of a dedicated and esteemed clergy member, who has been an integral part of the British monarchy's most significant moments. This image is a testament to the enduring tradition and significance of the role of the Dean of Westminster in the coronation of British Sovereigns.
