EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Annexe building constructed outside Westminster Abbey for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902 is depicted. The temporary structure, which was erected in the gothic style, served as a crucial element in the grand procession that marked the monarch's ascension to the throne. The Annexe was designed to marshal the coronation procession, with a distinct turret housing the standard pole that bore the royal banner. The gothic architectural design of the Annexe was intended to harmonize with the historic Westminster Abbey, where the coronation ceremony took place. The intricate details of the Annexe's gothic architecture, including pointed arches, ornate carvings, and tall, narrow windows, reflect the rich history and tradition of the coronation ceremony. King Edward VII's coronation on June 26, 1902, was a grand affair, and the Annexe played a significant role in the proceedings. The monarch, who had been on the throne since 1901 following the death of Queen Victoria, was carried in a golden state coach from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, where he was crowned in the presence of his subjects. The Annexe served as the staging area for the various processional units, including the Knights of the Garter, the Yeomen of the Guard, and the various guilds and livery companies. This photograph, taken in 1937, captures the Annexe in all its glory, standing proudly outside Westminster Abbey, a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the British monarchy. The Annexe, a temporary building, was dismantled after the coronation, leaving behind only memories and this enduring image of its gothic beauty.
