EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the historic moment when King George V and Queen Mary were crowned in Westminster Abbey, London, on June 22, 1911. The coronation, which marked the official beginning of George V's reign, was a grand and magnificent event that brought together the royal family, dignitaries, and thousands of citizens from across the British Empire. George V, dressed in the traditional robes and crown of a monarch, sits confidently on his throne as Queen Mary, resplendent in her royal attire, looks on with a proud and regal expression. The intricately decorated coronation chair, which has been used in every English coronation since 1308, can be seen in the background. The atmosphere in the Abbey was electric as the ceremony began, with the sound of the choir singing hymns filling the air. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who conducted the ceremony, placed the crown on the king's head, symbolizing his divine right to rule. The crowd outside erupted in cheers as the new monarch was crowned, and the streets of London were filled with celebrations that lasted for days. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, and offers a glimpse into a time when the institution of the monarchy held a powerful and symbolic role in the lives of the people. The intricate details of the robes, the solemn expressions of the royal couple, and the grandeur of the setting all combine to create a powerful and evocative image that transports us back to a bygone era.
