EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret grace the consecration of the new Coventry Cathedral on May 25th, 1962. The image captures the essence of royalty, religion, and artistry all in one frame. Both sisters are elegantly dressed for the occasion, donning exquisite hats that add an air of sophistication to their presence. They stand side by side with unwavering poise and regal composure as they observe the proceedings taking place within the majestic cathedral. The significance of this event is further emphasized by a remarkable statue positioned behind them - St. Michael's victory over the devil. Crafted by renowned artist Jacob Epstein, this masterpiece symbolizes triumph over evil and serves as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that it encapsulates not only religious devotion but also celebrates unity and rebirth after World War II had ravaged Coventry's original cathedral during bombings. The consecration ceremony stands as a powerful reminder of hope restored amidst destruction. This mesmerizing artwork by Eyles transports us back to an era where tradition met modernity while highlighting the enduring legacy of Queen Elizabeth II and her sister Princess Margaret. It immortalizes their presence at such a significant event in British history – forever etching their names alongside Coventry Cathedral's tale of resilience and renewal.
