EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a significant moment in British history as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II attends a traditional Guildhall luncheon in her honor on June 12, 1953, ten days after her Coronation. The event, held at the Guildhall in the City of London, is a long-standing tradition bestowed upon new sovereigns by the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London. In the image, the newly-crowned monarch, dressed in a beautiful gown and wearing the Imperial State Crown, can be seen engaging in conversation with the Lord Mayor, Sir Rupert de la Bere. To her left, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, is seen speaking with the Lady Mayoress, Princess Margaret, and the Duchess of Gloucester. To the right of the Lord Mayor stands Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and the Duke of Gloucester. The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place on June 2, 1953, at Westminster Abbey, and was attended by over 8,000 guests, including heads of state and dignitaries from around the world. The Guildhall luncheon was an opportunity for the Queen to connect with the people of London and begin her reign with a sense of unity and tradition. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and customs of the British monarchy and the City of London. It is a reminder of the significance of tradition and the importance of coming together to celebrate the crowning of a new monarch.
