EDITORS COMMENTS
In the twilight of a historic evening in 1953, the hallowed grounds of Westminster Abbey in London were illuminated in a soft, ethereal glow as the nation prepared for the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The iconic Gothic masterpiece, steeped in centuries of royal tradition and history, stood proudly against the night sky, its intricate stonework and soaring spires casting long shadows on the cobblestone streets below. Artist Felix Kelly captured this magical moment in time through his brushstrokes, creating a breathtaking painting that would come to symbolize the unity and pride of a nation. The Abbey, a true landmark and spiritual heart of the British monarchy, had once again become the backdrop for the crowning of a new monarch, a tradition that had been carried out for over a thousand years. As the world watched in awe, the Coronation Ceremony unfolded within the hallowed walls of Westminster Abbey, marking the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy and the people it served. This painting by Felix Kelly, a testament to the grandeur and majesty of the occasion, would go on to be featured in advertisements for Dunlop Tyres, a symbol of the connection between the past and the present, tradition and innovation, and the enduring spirit of the British people.
