EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother) appeared before the adoring crowds in Hyde Park following their coronation on May 12, 1937. The newly crowned monarch and his consort, dressed in their regal finery, wave and smile from the comfort of the opulent State Coach as they make their way through the throngs of people lining the streets of London. The air was filled with a sense of excitement and jubilation as the British people came out in droves to catch a glimpse of their new King and Queen, who had ascended to the throne following the abdication of King Edward VIII. The scene is a testament to the enduring power of the British monarchy to bring the nation together in times of celebration and unity. With the backdrop of the grand architecture of London and the sea of uplifted faces, this photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the deep connection between the monarchy and its people.
