EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a significant moment in history, as peeresses attending the Coronation ceremony in Westminster Abbey have their fears allayed. The photograph showcases the innovative invention of Mr H Kavanagh, a Manchester hairdresser, who has devised a clever device to secure their coronets.

The series of pictures demonstrates the correct method of wearing the coronet and highlights the undeniable advantage of this new device. What's more, no special coiffure is required to accommodate it. The image shows a titled lady with her head held high, confidently displaying how securely her coronet is retained by Mr Kavanagh's creation.
