EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, also known as the Queen Mother, on the day of King George VI's coronation in 1937. King George VI, dressed in the uniform of Admiral of the Fleet, proudly wears the gold braid, epaulettes, and hat adorned with the insignia of his high rank in the Royal Navy. The uniform, which dates back to 1895, adds a sense of tradition and history to the momentous occasion. Queen Elizabeth, wearing a full, elegant gown and adorned with a magnificent tiara, stands proudly by her husband's side as his consort. Her regal attire, with its intricate gold detailing, complements the grandeur of the setting and the importance of the event. The year 1937 marked a significant moment in British history, as King George VI ascended to the throne following the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII. The coronation took place at Westminster Abbey and was attended by hundreds of dignitaries and members of the royal family. This photograph, taken during the coronation procession, captures the essence of the royal couple's regal presence and the historical significance of the day. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the importance of the role of the monarch as both a military and political leader.
