EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment from the historic coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The scene unfolds before the iconic west door of Westminster Abbey, where a contingent of The Royal Marines assumes position as part of the Guard of Honour. Dressed in their distinctive red coats and bearskins, the Marines march with precision and discipline, their determined expressions reflecting the gravity of the occasion. The Queen, represented here by an empty throne, is about to make her grand entrance, marking the official beginning of her reign. The year is 1953, and the air is thick with anticipation and excitement. The crowd, not visible in this image, eagerly awaits the monarch's appearance, their spirits buoyed by the sense of national pride and unity. The Royal Marines, an elite branch of the British military, have been the Queen's personal bodyguard since the time of King Charles II. Their presence at the coronation signifies the continuity of tradition and the unwavering loyalty of the armed forces to their sovereign. The Guard of Honour, with its meticulously synchronized movements, serves as a testament to the military prowess and ceremonial grandeur of the British monarchy. This photograph, taken by Terence Gallacher, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British history and the enduring allure of royal ceremonial events. The black-and-white image, reminiscent of the 1950s, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the majesty and pageantry of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
