EDITORS COMMENTS
A Day Which All the World Remembers: The Coronation of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey on June 2, 1953 This evocative photograph captures the historic moment of the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey on June 2, 1953. The image, taken in 1963, shows the newly crowned monarch seated in her gilded coronation chair, surrounded by the grandeur and solemnity of the ancient abbey. The coronation marked the official beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, following the death of her father, King George VI, in 1952. The ceremony was a grand spectacle, attended by thousands of people both in the abbey and outside, as well as by heads of state and royalty from around the world. The Queen is seen here wearing the Imperial State Crown, which is adorned with precious stones and gold, and the Robe of State, a velvet robe encrusted with pearls and crystals. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, is seen in the foreground, administering the oath to the Queen, as the Duke of Edinburgh looks on. The coronation was a defining moment in British history, and a symbol of continuity and stability in a time of change. It marked the start of a long and remarkable reign, which has seen the Queen become the longest-serving monarch in British history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power and symbolism of the monarchy, and a reminder of the rich history and traditions of the United Kingdom.
