EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The image shows the Garter Principal King at Arms, an officer of the English monarchy responsible for heraldic matters, making an official proclamation of the Coronation date at St. James Palace. The announcement was made in the Stable Yard on November 13, 1952, just a few months after the unexpected death of King George VI. Standing to the left of the herald is Bernard Marmaduke Howard, the 16th Duke of Norfolk and Earl Marshal, who played a significant role in organizing all practical aspects of the Coronation. The Duke, dressed in traditional robes and hat, listened intently as the proclamation was read aloud. The date of the Coronation was set for June 2, 1953. The announcement marked the beginning of the preparations for one of the most significant events in British history. The Coronation was a traditional ceremony steeped in centuries of monarchical tradition, and the proclamation was an essential part of the proceedings. The image captures the gravity and importance of the moment, with the herald's authoritative voice echoing through the Stable Yard and the Duke's attentive presence. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the British monarchy and the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The image is from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online and is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
