Coach Coronation Crowds Leaving Parliament Procession Watching Westminster 1937 Elizabeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment on 12 May 1937, as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, accompanied by the Queen Mother, departed from Westminster Abbey following their coronation ceremony. The newly crowned monarchs, dressed in their regal finery, sit proudly in the open-topped State Coach, waving graciously to the wildly cheering crowds that had gathered in Parliament Square. The richly-coloured stands and noble grey backdrop of the Abbey add to the grandeur of the scene, as London comes alive with the excitement of this momentous occasion. The streets are filled with people from all walks of life, eager to witness and celebrate this pivotal moment in British history. The joyous atmosphere is palpable, as the people of London and beyond come together to mark the beginning of a new reign. This iconic image, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd and captured by photographer Mary Evans, is a testament to the enduring power of the monarchy and the deep connection between the people and their royal leaders.
