EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, three heralds, embodying the rich traditions and grandeur of British coronation ceremonies, are seen in their full regalia. From left to right, Rouge Coix Pursuivant J. R. Bromhead Walker, Major M. R. Trappes-Lomax as Somerset Herald, and Mr. A. J. Toppin as York Herald, proudly display their heraldic staffs adorned with badges and plumes. The scene unfolds at a coronation event, an age-old tradition steeped in history and pageantry. Heralds, as officers of the monarch, play a crucial role in the ceremony, announcing the arrival of the royal procession and proclaiming the new monarch's title and lineage to the assembled crowds. The heralds' costumes are a sight to behold, a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the role. Each herald wears a distinctive tabard, bearing the coat of arms of the region they represent, and a hat known as a 'cap of maintenance.' The hats are adorned with feathers, often ostrich or peacock plumes, and are designed to protect the herald's head from the elements. The heralds' staffs, or 'batons,' are another essential part of their regalia. Each baton is unique, featuring the herald's badge and often topped with a silver or gold finial. The heralds carry these staffs with pride, a symbol of their office and the history they represent. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of the rich tapestry of British history and tradition. The heralds, with their proud bearing and distinctive costumes, stand as a reminder of the enduring significance of these ancient ceremonies and the roles they play in bringing the monarchy and its people together.
