EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a moment of historical significance as the 2nd Battalion The Scots Guards assume their position as the Guard of Honour outside the west door of Westminster Abbey on the coronation day of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The scene is set against the backdrop of the grand and ornate west door, which has borne witness to numerous royal ceremonies throughout history. The Queen, dressed in her magnificent coronation robe and adorned with the Imperial State Crown, makes her regal entrance, surrounded by her courtiers and dignitaries. The air is thick with anticipation and excitement as the British people gather to witness the crowning of their new monarch. The 2nd Battalion The Scots Guards, dressed in their scarlet tunics and bearskins, stand at attention, their rifles at the ready. Their stern and disciplined demeanor exudes a sense of pride and duty, as they prepare to pay their respects to the new Queen and uphold the traditions of the British monarchy. The year is 1953, and the post-war era is in full swing. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II marks a new beginning for the country, and this photograph serves as a testament to the enduring traditions and symbolism of the British monarchy. This image, taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, is a poignant reminder of a significant moment in British history, and a tribute to the dedication and commitment of the men and women who have served as the Guard of Honour at the coronation of a monarch. It is a powerful and evocative image that continues to captivate and inspire generations.
