1953 Coronation Gallacher Reception Special Terence Terry Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment of Queen Elizabeth II's entrance into Westminster Abbey for her coronation on June 2, 1953. The temporary entrance, constructed specifically for the occasion and located at the West Door of the Abbey, adds an air of grandeur and importance to the event. The Queen, dressed in her intricately designed and jeweled coronation gown, is accompanied by her pageboys and maid of honor, Princess Margaret, as she ascends the steps towards the entrance. The crowd, a sea of hats and umbrellas, eagerly awaits the arrival of their new monarch. The atmosphere is one of excitement, anticipation, and reverence. This image, taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, offers a glimpse into the pomp and pageantry of the coronation, an event that marked the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy in the 1950s.
