EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation at Westminster Abbey on 2nd June, 1953. The image shows the newly crowned monarch, resplendent in her regal attire, seated on the Saint Edward's Chair. Surrounded by the pomp and ceremony of the coronation, the Queen is flanked by Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, who administered the coronation oath, and the Dean of Westminster, Dr. John H. Cosmo Lang. Elizabeth II's coronation marked the formal investiture of her duties as Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Head of the Commonwealth. The regalia worn by the Queen, including the Imperial State Crown, the Orb, and the Sceptre with the Cross, symbolize her role as the spiritual and temporal leader of her realms. The coronation ceremony, steeped in tradition and history, is a testament to the enduring power and significance of the British monarchy. The grandeur of the occasion, with its rich robes, jewels, and ancient rituals, continues to captivate the world and serve as a reminder of the deep historical roots of the United Kingdom.
