1953 Band Coronation Gallacher Marines Terence Terry Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a moment of grandeur and tradition during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The Band of The Royal Marines, dressed in their iconic red coats and bearskins, proudly march past the historic west door of Westminster Abbey. The Abbey, a symbol of British history and royal tradition, stands majestically in the background, its Gothic architecture a stark contrast to the crisp, military uniforms of the musicians. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling London crowd, with onlookers gathered to witness the historic event. The date, June 2nd, 1953, marks a significant moment in British history, as Queen Elizabeth II was officially crowned and anointed as the monarch of the United Kingdom and the Dominions. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, captures the essence of the era, with the fashion, energy, and excitement of the 1950s on full display. The Band of The Royal Marines, one of the oldest and most prestigious military bands in the world, adds to the grandeur of the occasion with their precise and powerful performance. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy and the military, and is a must-have for any collection of historical or royal photography. The image is part of the Terence Gallacher Collection, available for licensing at Mary Evans Prints Online.
