EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the empty Coronation Coach makes its departure from Westminster Abbey following the momentous event of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation on June 2, 1953. The Coach, adorned with intricate gold and crimson livery, stands as a symbol of the grandeur and tradition of the British Monarchy. The Queen, dressed in her magnificent robes and adorned with the Imperial State Crown, had just taken her oath during the ceremony, marking the formal beginning of her reign. The Coronation Coach, a magnificent horse-drawn carriage, has been a part of British coronation traditions since 1831. It was designed by Sir John Fowler and Sir Philip Cockerell and is considered one of the finest examples of Victorian craftsmanship. The Coach, drawn by six magnificent white horses, was led by the Yeomen of the Guard, who were dressed in their distinctive Tudor uniforms. The scene outside Westminster Abbey was filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as the Coach made its way through the throngs of people who had gathered to witness the historic moment. The streets of London were adorned with banners and flags, and the air was filled with the sound of cheers and the pealing of church bells. This photograph captures the essence of a moment in history, a moment that marked the beginning of a new era for the British Monarchy and the country as a whole. The empty Coronation Coach, with its regal presence, stands as a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds the British Monarchy and the coronation ceremony.
