EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the momentous occasion of the Coronation of Queen Victoria at Westminster Abbey in London on June 28, 1838. At just 20 years old, Victoria ascended to the throne following the death of her uncle, King William IV. Her coronation marked the beginning of her 63-year reign, which would make her the longest-reigning monarch in British history. The image shows Queen Victoria, wearing the magnificent St. Edward's Crown and holding the Scepter with the Cross and the Orb, being crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, William Howley, in the hallowed Gothic interior of Westminster Abbey. Surrounded by her courtiers, nobles, and dignitaries, Victoria takes her rightful place on the throne, symbolizing the continuity and stability of the monarchy. The Coronation Ceremony was a grand spectacle, filled with pageantry, tradition, and religious significance. The event brought together the British people, who gathered in the streets of London to celebrate their new monarch. The day was filled with music, feasting, and fireworks, marking the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy and the country as a whole. This photograph, taken by Terry Parker from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the Coronation of Queen Victoria, an event that continues to captivate and inspire generations.
