1953 Band Coronation Gallacher Marching Marines Terence Terry Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a memorable moment from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The Band of the Royal Marines, dressed in their distinctive red jackets and gold braid, proudly march past the historic west door of Westminster Abbey. The Abbey, with its iconic Gothic architecture and rich history, serves as the backdrop for this grand procession. The Queen, who is not visible in the image, had been crowned earlier that day in a magnificent ceremony steeped in tradition and pageantry. The month of June in the early 1950s was a time of great celebration in Britain, as the country embraced the dawn of a new era under its young and dynamic monarch. The Band of the Royal Marines, one of the finest military bands in the world, adds to the sense of occasion with their precise and rhythmic marching. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, is a testament to the grandeur and pageantry of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, an event that continues to captivate the world to this day.
