EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a momentous event in British history. Taken from the Coronation Souvenir Book of 1937, edited by Gordon Beckles and published by the Daily Express, it showcases an iconic scene that unfolded on May 12th, 1937. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see Trafalgar Square adorned with fluttering flags and bustling with excitement. The occasion was none other than the coronation of King George VI, who succeeded his father as the ruler of Great Britain. As part of this grand celebration, sailors proudly line the route through Trafalgar Square. The image beautifully portrays the architectural splendor surrounding them - Admiralty Arch standing tall in the background. Horses draw carriages carrying esteemed guests to witness this historic event while spectators eagerly await their arrival. Amongst all these elements lies a deeper significance - unity and pride within the British Empire. This photo symbolizes not only a royal coronation but also represents a nation coming together to honor its new king. As we reflect upon this remarkable moment captured nearly a century ago, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and reminds us how historical events can shape our collective identity.
