EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Anticipation: The Arrival of the Pikemen and Liverymen at the West Door of Westminster Abbey during the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, 1953 In this evocative photograph from the Terence Gallacher Collection, a few members of the Pikemen and Liverymen of the City of London make their way towards the west door of Westminster Abbey during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Preceded by two drummers, their traditional uniforms and weapons add an air of grandeur and tradition to the historic occasion. The sea of periscopes raised in the foreground hints at the large crowd that had gathered to witness the momentous event. The periscopes were a common sight during the coronation, allowing the public to catch a glimpse of the proceedings from afar. The image captures a sense of excitement and anticipation as the Pikemen and Liverymen approach the Abbey, their steady footsteps echoing through the stone corridors of history. The black-and-white photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, transports us back to the 1950s, a time of great change and celebration in Britain. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was a significant moment in British history, marking the end of the post-war era and the beginning of a new chapter for the monarchy and the country as a whole. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the pageantry and tradition that surrounded the event, and serves as a reminder of the enduring symbolism of the monarchy in British culture.
