EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a pivotal moment in British history as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, receive the homage of the Archbishop and Bishops during the Coronation Ceremony on May 12, 1937. The newly crowned monarch and his consort are seated on the Throne inside the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey in London. The regal atmosphere is palpable as the King, dressed in his full regalia, wears the Imperial State Crown on his head. The Queen Mother, dressed in traditional robes and wearing the Queen Mary's Diamond Diadem, looks on with pride and dignity. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishops, dressed in their ceremonial robes, approach the throne to pay their respects to the new King. The intricate interior of Westminster Abbey, with its ornate arches and stained glass windows, adds to the grandeur of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the pageantry and tradition of the British monarchy, as King George VI begins his reign with the support and recognition of the Church.
