EDITORS COMMENTS
This spectacular illustration by Bryan de Grineau captures the supreme moment of the Coronation ceremony of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey on June 2, 1953. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, reverently places St. Edward's Crown on the head of the monarch, symbolizing the formal installation of Queen Elizabeth II as the Sovereign of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and other Commonwealth realms. The solemn occasion marked the end of a pageant-filled procession and the beginning of the Queen's reign, which would span over six decades. The intricately designed chair, known as the Coronation Chair, is seen in the background, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The ritualistic crowning of the monarch is a significant event in the history of the British Monarchy, signifying the transfer of sovereignty from one monarch to another. This illustration, created by the talented ILN special artist, Bryan de Grineau, is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the Coronation ceremony, making it an essential piece of historical documentation.
