EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on the momentous occasion of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, we see a grand procession of coaches approaching the iconic West Door of Westminster Abbey. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement as the Commonwealth Prime Ministers make their way towards the Abbey, marking the beginning of the grand ceremonial proceedings. The West Door of Westminster Abbey, with its intricately carved stonework and ornate design, stands as a symbol of the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy. The door, adorned with the images of past monarchs and biblical figures, serves as a backdrop to this significant moment in history. The coaches, drawn by magnificent horses, glisten in the sunlight as they make their way towards the Abbey, carrying the esteemed guests of the Coronation. The crowd, dressed in their Sunday best, lines the streets, eager to catch a glimpse of the Prime Ministers and the royal procession. Among the coaches, we can see the distinctive figure of Terence Terry, the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, and June Campbell, the Prime Minister of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), waving to the crowd. The Prime Ministers of Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other Commonwealth countries join them, adding to the international flair of the event. The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, held on June 2, 1953, was a grand celebration of British royalty and the Commonwealth. This photograph captures the essence of the occasion, with its grand procession, historic setting, and the excitement of the crowd. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the British monarchy and the unity of the Commonwealth.
