EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the solemn and respectful atmosphere as the public paid their final respects to King Edward VII during his lying-in-state in May 1910. The image above the queue shows the procession carrying the late monarch's coffin through Westminster Hall, where he lay in state, surrounded by floral tributes and candles. The queue, stretching out of the frame and down the street, bears testament to the outpouring of grief and loyalty from the British people. Men, women, and children, dressed in their Sunday best, wait patiently in the rain to file past the coffin and pay their respects. The scene is a poignant reminder of the deep connection between the monarchy and its people, and the sense of communal mourning that united the nation during this time. The lying-in-state of a monarch is a long-standing tradition in British monarchy, dating back to the Middle Ages. It allows the public to pay their respects and say farewell to their sovereign, providing a sense of closure and unity in the face of loss. The image of the queue, with its orderly and patient demeanor, is a powerful symbol of the resilience and unity of the British people during a time of grief. The photograph, taken in May 1910, marks the end of an era, with the passing of Edward VII and the beginning of the reign of his son, King George V. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the passing of time and the enduring connection between the monarchy and its people.
