EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace on 12 May 1937. The people, dressed in their finest attire, had come from far and wide to witness the historic moment when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth would make their first appearance together as monarch and consort following their Coronation at Westminster Abbey. The newly crowned King George VI, who had unexpectedly ascended to the throne after the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, and his wife, Queen Elizabeth, were greeted with a thunderous applause and cheers from the eager spectators. The scene outside the palace was a sea of humanity, with people of all ages and backgrounds united in their celebration of the new monarch and the hope for a brighter future for their country. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of royal events to bring people together and create lasting memories.
