EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the coronation of King George V at Westminster Abbey in London on the 22nd of June, 1911. Surrounded by the grandeur of the coronation chair, King George V, dressed in his magnificent robes, takes the sacred oath from the Archbishop of Canterbury, St. Edward's Chair behind him. The Archbishop holds open the Gospel as the King places his hand upon it, swearing to maintain the laws and customs of the land and the settlement of the Church of England. The solemn ceremony took place in the hallowed grounds of Westminster Abbey, a symbolic and spiritual center of British monarchy and history. The image captures the gravity and importance of the occasion, with the King's solemn expression and the focused gaze of the Archbishop. The coronation of King George V marked the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy and the country as a whole, and this photograph stands as a testament to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchical system.
