1953 Clean Cleaning Coronation Crowds Dustman Dustmen Gallacher Terence Terry Elizabeth

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the Terence Gallacher Collection, captured during the historic 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in London, a dustman takes a break from his usual routine to pay respects to the grandeur of the moment. Amidst the sea of excited crowds, the dustman, with his broom and dustpan at the ready, pauses to give the temporary route liners a once-over, ensuring the pristine condition of the streets for the second procession of the Queen's coronation. The dustman's presence adds an unexpected yet endearing touch to the regal scene, underscoring the sense of normalcy and continuity amidst the grandeur of the coronation celebrations. The black-and-white photograph, taken by Terence Gallacher, transports us back to the Fifties, a time of great national pride and unity in Britain.
