EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the awe-inspiring moment of the Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in Westminster Abbey, London, on August 9, 1902. The newly crowned King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra are depicted sitting in the Coronation Chairs, which have been used in every British coronation since King Edward the Confessor in 1042. The empty thrones, adorned with intricate gold and jewels, symbolize the solemnity and grandeur of the ceremony. King Edward VII, the eldest son of Queen Victoria, ascended to the throne following his mother's death in 1901. His wife, Queen Alexandra, was a Danish princess and the couple's marriage was seen as a symbol of unity between Britain and Denmark. The coronation was a grand affair, attended by over 8,000 guests and watched by millions around the world. The interior of Westminster Abbey is beautifully captured in this photograph, with its ornate stonework, stained glass windows, and impressive architecture. The sense of history and tradition is palpable, as the Coronation Chairs have been witness to countless ceremonies and moments of British royal history. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and grandeur of the British monarchy, and the Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra remains an important moment in the annals of British history.
