1953 Coronation Gallacher Terence Terry Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Regal History: The Close-Up Spectators of Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation in Golden Square, 1953 In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the close-up faces of the crowd in London's Golden Square capture the excitement and anticipation of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation on June 2, 1953. The second day of the coronation festivities, known as "The Second Procession," saw the monarch travel from Buckingham Palace to the Banqueting House in Whitehall, where she was crowned with the Imperial State Crown. The image, taken by renowned British photographer Terence Gallacher, offers a rare glimpse into the expressions and emotions of the spectators as they eagerly watch the historic procession. The young boy, Terry, with a wide-eyed gaze and open mouth, embodies the sense of wonder and awe that filled the air that day. The woman in the foreground, her eyes fixed on the scene unfolding before her, exudes a sense of pride and reverence. The photograph, part of the extensive Terence Gallacher Collection held by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a poignant reminder of the collective experience of a momentous event in British history. The image invites us to reflect on the significance of the coronation not only as a symbol of the monarchy but also as a shared cultural memory that continues to resonate with people today.
