EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a moment of historical significance as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, leaves Westminster Abbey following the coronation of King George VI on the 12th of May, 1937. The newly crowned monarch, King George VI, is seen seated on his throne during the coronation service, while Queen Elizabeth, dressed in regal attire, makes her grand procession out of the abbey. The Queen is accompanied by her Bishops, who are dressed in their distinctive purple robes and gold embroidery, symbolizing their spiritual authority. Six train-bearers carry the Queen's long, embroidered train, adorned with floral emblems of the Empire. The Queen holds the Sceptre in her right hand, a symbol of her temporal power, and the Ivory Rod with a dove in her left hand, representing her spiritual role. The Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, was a significant event in British history, marking the beginning of a new reign after the abdication of King Edward VIII. The ceremony was attended by thousands of people, both in person and through radio broadcasts, and was a symbol of unity and hope during a time of political and social change. This photograph is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy and offers a glimpse into the rich history and pageantry of a coronation ceremony.
