EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the Coronation rehearsal in 1953. The image captures the bustling scene at 6 am, as the Mall is already choked with private cars, bumper to bumper, eagerly awaiting a glimpse of royalty. Despite the early hour, traffic congestion is evident as vehicles edge forward along the procession route. Occasionally, squads block certain areas to ensure smooth proceedings. Interestingly, there are very few pedestrians present at this time; it seems that only dedicated sightseers have braved the early morning hours to witness this historic event. The atmosphere must have been electric with anticipation and excitement for what was about to unfold. The photograph provides a nostalgic glimpse into an era when celebrations were grand and royal events captured public imagination. It serves as a reminder of how times have changed since then – today's congested streets might pale in comparison but still evoke memories of similar scenes during major processions or parades. Mirrorpix has done an exceptional job preserving this momentous occasion through their collection of photographs. Their dedication allows us to relive these significant moments in history and appreciate the impact they had on society during that vibrant decade of the 1950s.
