This striking photograph captures a significant moment in British history during the Silver Jubilee celebrations of King George V in 1935. The image showcases the traditional Ceremony of the Sword, an essential part of the Lord Mayor's Show in London. In the photograph, the Lord Mayor of London, dressed in full regalia and seated in an open carriage, is seen passing the ceremonial sword to the monarch. King George V, wearing the ermine-trimmed robe and the Imperial State Crown, graciously receives the sword with both hands. The Queen Mary, the King's consort, looks on from the background, adding an air of elegance and grandeur to the scene. The Ceremony of the Sword is a time-honored custom that symbolizes the Lord Mayor's loyalty and submission to the monarch. The sword, which is the symbol of the Lord Mayor's authority, is presented to the sovereign as a sign of respect and allegiance. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the City of London. The grandeur of the Temple Bar, the ancient gateway to the City of London, serves as an impressive backdrop to the scene. The Fleet Street, lined with people, adds to the festive atmosphere of the Silver Jubilee celebrations. This photograph is a testament to the enduring history and traditions of the British monarchy and the City of London. It is a reminder of the significance of the Ceremony of the Sword and its role in the relationship between the monarch and the Lord Mayor of London.
