EDITORS COMMENTS
A joyous scene of Pleasure Boats at Westminster Pier on Coronation Derby Day, 6th June 1953. The air was filled with excitement and anticipation as the crowds gathered to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The pier was adorned with vibrant bunting and decorations, adding to the festive atmosphere. In the foreground, a group of pleasure boats, each one meticulously decorated for the occasion, are moored at the pier. The boats, adorned with flowers, streamers, and coronation emblems, reflect the jubilant spirit of the day. The passengers, dressed in their Sunday best, wave and smile as they prepare to embark on a leisurely cruise along the River Thames. The Coronation Derby was a popular event, attracting thousands of people to the banks of the river to watch the race between the beautifully decorated boats. The Derby was a tradition that dated back to the 19th century and was a much-loved part of the Thames River scene. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, captures the essence of the day - the joy, the excitement, and the sense of community that came together to celebrate this historic occasion. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Thames and its rich maritime heritage.
