EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a significant moment in English history: the coronation procession of Edward VI in February 1547. At just nine years old, Edward, dressed in regal attire and wearing the magnificent gold and ermine-trimmed Edwardian Crown, rode from the Tower of London to Westminster Abbey. The young monarch's journey marked the formal beginning of his reign, following the death of his father, King Henry VIII. The scene depicted in this photograph is part of the procession that made its way through Cheapside, a bustling commercial district in London. The crowd, dressed in the clothing of the time, eagerly watches the young king pass by, some even reaching out to touch his horse or offering him tokens of loyalty. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation, as the people of London bear witness to the coronation of their new monarch. Edward VI's reign was marked by religious and political turmoil, as well as the emergence of the Protectorate under the Duke of Northumberland. However, this image serves as a reminder of the young king's historic journey and the sense of hope and anticipation that accompanied it. The horses and their riders, the onlookers, and the grandeur of the procession all contribute to the rich tapestry of this moment in history. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the events and people that shaped England's history over 475 years ago.
