1953 Coronation Foreign Gallacher Representative Terence Terry Elizabeth Scouts Ushers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and grandeur of the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey in London. Taken by renowned photographer Terence Gallacher, the image showcases the Coverway, an outdoor entrance to the Abbey, adorned with ornate decorations and banners. The anticipation of the event is palpable as attendees and ushers huddle under cover, waiting for the early arrivals of foreign representatives. Boys Scouts, dressed in their uniforms, stand at the ready to usher in the esteemed guests. The scene is a testament to the pageantry and tradition that surrounded the coronation of the young monarch, who ascended to the throne following the death of her father, King George VI, in 1952. The black-and-white image transports us back to the 1950s, a time of great change and optimism for Britain and its people. The elegance and solemnity of the occasion are beautifully captured in this iconic photograph, making it a must-have for any collection of historical or royal imagery.
