EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment when King George V and Queen Mary passed through Fleet Street in London on June 23, 1911, the day after their coronation. Once the bustling heart of the British newspaper industry, Fleet Street was a hive of activity for journalists and publishers. In this image, the open carriage of the newly crowned monarch is seen making its way through the iconic streets, surrounded by a sea of people eager to catch a glimpse of the royal procession. The decorative arches and floral displays that adorn the buildings along the route add to the festive atmosphere, reflecting the national excitement and pride that accompanied the coronation. The crowds, a mix of the well-dressed and the working class, are seen gazing up at the royal couple in awe, some even extending their hands in a hope of a royal wave or blessing. The photograph is a testament to the power of the monarchy to unite the people and bring them together in celebration. It also serves as a reminder of the historic significance of Fleet Street, which once played a pivotal role in shaping the news and shaping public opinion in Britain and beyond. This image, captured by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, is a precious document of a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring allure of royalty and the power of community.
