1953 Coats Coronation Crowds Gallacher Marching Route Terence Terry Trumpeters Water Proof Elizabeth


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph taken on June 2, 1953, during the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in London, England, a group of Coronation Trumpeters can be seen marching past the west door of Westminster Abbey. Dressed in their traditional red and gold uniforms, complete with tall, plumed hats, the trumpeters are preparing to take up their positions along the coronation route. The image captures the sense of anticipation and excitement in the air as the historic event unfolds. The crowd, dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly watches the procession, some even reaching out to touch the hem of the trumpeters' waterproof cloaks as they pass by. The door of the abbey, adorned with intricate carvings and ancient symbols, serves as a backdrop to the scene, adding to the grandeur and solemnity of the moment. The Coronation Trumpeters, an essential part of British royal ceremonial tradition, have played a significant role in the coronation procession since the 14th century. Their distinctive fanfare heralds the arrival of the monarch, signaling the beginning of their reign. In this photograph, they are seen marching confidently and proudly, their faces set in determined expressions, as they carry out their important duty. This evocative image, taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, offers a glimpse into the rich history and pageantry of the British monarchy during the 1950s. The waterproof cloaks worn by the trumpeters are a testament to the unpredictable English weather, making this photograph a fitting representation of the resilience and tradition that define the British people.
