EDITORS COMMENTS
The King and Queen Approaching Westminster Abbey," captured in 1937 by the renowned Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London, offers a captivating glimpse into the historic coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The black and white image, taken during the grand procession, showcases the newly crowned monarch and his consort, the Duchess of York, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, making their approach to Westminster Abbey in the magnificent Gold State Coach. The image is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy, with the King and Queen, both members of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and House of Windsor respectively, dressed in their regal attire. The Duke of York, later to become King George VI, wears the Imperial State Crown, while Queen Elizabeth is adorned in the Queen Mary's Diamond Diadem and the Robe of State. The scene is set against the backdrop of the iconic London landmarks, including Big Ben and the Elizabeth Tower, and the City of Westminster, the capital city of Britain and the seat of the British government. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd, gathered to witness the historic event, as they line the streets and watch the procession from the grandstand. The coronation of King George VI marked a significant moment in British history, as he succeeded his brother Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne. The event also marked the beginning of the Commonwealth, which included the Dominions of the British Empire and India, under the British Raj. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of the British monarchy and the British Empire during the 20th century.
