EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch captures a moment of history during the Coronation of King George VI in 1937. The scene depicts a group of eager schoolchildren, dressed in their best clothes, patiently waiting to catch a glimpse of the royal procession. As they wait, they are treated to a refreshing glass of milk, a thoughtful gesture aimed at keeping them nourished and focused. The Coronation of King George VI took place on May 12, 1937, at Westminster Abbey in London. The event marked the official installation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth as monarchs of the United Kingdom, following the abdication of King Edward VIII. The coronation was a grand affair, with thousands of people lining the streets of London to catch a glimpse of the procession as it made its way through the city. In this sketch, the children are seen huddled together, their eyes fixed on the route of the procession, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The adults in the background, dressed in their Sunday best, watch over them, ensuring their safety and comfort. The image is a poignant reminder of the sense of community and togetherness that surrounded the Coronation, as people from all walks of life came together to celebrate this historic moment. The serving of milk to the schoolchildren is a small but significant detail in the sketch. At the time, milk was an essential source of nutrition for children, particularly those from working-class families who may not have had regular access to it. The fact that the children were given milk while they waited for the procession to pass by shows the thoughtfulness and care that went into making the Coronation a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
