EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness the Officers of Arms of the Heralds College as they participated in the historic Coronation Ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952. The Officers of Arms, dressed in their traditional robes and heraldic insignia, are seated in a grand hall, their solemn expressions conveying the gravity and importance of their roles in the ceremony. From left to right, we see Bluemantle Herald, J A Frere; Windsor Herald, R P Graham-Vivian; Richmond Herald, Anthony Wagner; York Herald, A J Toppin; Clarenceux King of Arms, Sir Arthur Cochrane; Garter King of Arms, Sir George Bellew; Earl Marshal of England, the Duke of Norfolk; Portcullis, the Master of Sinclair; Norroy and Ulster King of Arms, Sir Gerald Wollaston; Rouge Dragon, R Mirrlees; Lancaster Herald, A G B Russell; Chester Herald, J D Heaton-Armstrong; Rouge Croix, J R Bromhead Walker; and Somerset Herald, Major M R Trappes-Lomax. The Officers of Arms of the Heralds College played a crucial role in the pageantry and ceremonial aspects of the coronation, responsible for the display and maintenance of the heraldic insignia and the execution of various heraldic duties. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II marked the culmination of years of preparation and planning, and the presence of these esteemed officers added to the grandeur and tradition of the occasion. The photograph captures a moment in time, frozen in history, as these Officers of Arms, dressed in their ceremonial attire, gathered together to pay tribute to the new monarch and uphold the rich heritage of heraldry and ceremonial pageantry.
