EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, leading churchmen of the Church of England gather to officiate at the historic Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953. The image captures a moment of solemnity and reverence as these dignitaries played essential roles in the grand ceremony. At the top left, Archbishop of York, Dr. Garbett, is depicted in his regal attire. His role during the Coronation was to support the Archbishop of Canterbury, who presided over the ceremony. To his right, Bishop of London, Dr. Wand, can be seen carrying the paten, a plate used to hold the bread during the Eucharist. At the bottom right, Bishop of Durham, Dr. A.M. Ramsey, and Bishop of Bath and Wells, Dr. H.W. Bradfield, are both shown in their ecclesiastical garments. These bishops had the crucial responsibility of supporting the Queen during the ceremony. The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was a significant event in British history, marking the formal installation of the monarch and her recognition as the spiritual and temporal head of the Church of England. This photograph offers a glimpse into the religious and ceremonial aspects of the occasion, featuring the prominent churchmen who played a pivotal role in the proceedings.
