This striking photograph captures the moment of historical significance as King George V's Proclamation was read aloud in the seaside town of Worthing, West Sussex, on May 19, 1910, eight days after the monarch's ascension to the British throne. The image portrays a large crowd of onlookers, including men, women, and children, gathered around the Town Hall, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Proclamation. The town's policemen stand guard, maintaining order and ensuring the safety of the populace. King George V's Proclamation was a traditional ceremony marking the formal announcement of a new monarch's accession to the throne. The Proclamation was read aloud in each town and city throughout the United Kingdom, signifying the transfer of power and the beginning of a new reign. This momentous occasion brought the community together, symbolizing unity and tradition. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the excitement and anticipation felt by the British people during this time of change.
