Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. The scene unfolds at the majestic Westminster Abbey, the hallowed venue for the coronation ceremony of British monarchs for over a thousand years.

The grandeur of the occasion is palpable, with the ornate architecture of the Abbey and the vibrant, eager crowds filling the background.
