Ceremony Coronation Matania Procession Sceptre Throne Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the historic moment when Queen Mary, the consort of King George V, ascends the steps of Westminster Abbey on her way to take her place on the throne during the Coronation Ceremony on June 2, 1911. Dressed in her magnificent robes and adorned with the Crown of St. Edward and the Sceptre with the Cross, Queen Mary, the daughter of German Emperor Frederick III and Empress Victoria, appeared regal and poised as she led the procession through the hallowed halls of the Abbey, surrounded by the pageantry and tradition of British monarchy. The Coronation Ceremony, a centuries-old custom, marked the formal installation of the monarch and the recognition of their divine right to rule. The event was a grand spectacle, attended by thousands of people and watched by millions more around the world. Queen Mary's procession to the throne was a sight to behold, with the Queen and her retinue of nobles, bishops, and officials making their way through the Abbey, accompanied by the sound of trumpets and the tolling of bells. This photograph, taken by renowned British artist Matania, captures the essence of the occasion, with its intricate details and rich colors, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and tradition. The image is a testament to the enduring power of history and the continuity of the British monarchy, which has survived for over a thousand years and continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for the people of the United Kingdom and beyond.
