EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Coronation of King George VI" we are transported back to the 12th of May, 1937. The image captures a group of young boy scouts eagerly awaiting the arrival of the golden state coach containing King George VI himself. As they sit down for a momentary break, their youthful camaraderie is evident in their relaxed postures and friendly banter. The scene exudes an air of anticipation and excitement as these teenagers take advantage of the brief respite by indulging in a shared cigarette. In an era when smoking was more widely accepted, it serves as a snapshot into the social norms and friendships formed during that time period. The procession itself must have been quite grand, with parades and people lining the streets to catch a glimpse of their beloved monarch. Yet amidst all the pomp and circumstance, this photograph reminds us that even in historic moments such as these, genuine connections between friends can be found. This Memory Lane Print from Mirrorpix encapsulates not only a significant event in British history but also showcases timeless themes like friendship and youthfulness. It serves as both a nostalgic reminder for those who lived through that era and an intriguing glimpse into life during the 1930s for younger generations today.
