EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British history - the Coronation rehearsal of Queen Elizabeth. Taken on April 20,1937, at Westminster Abbey, the image showcases a group of esteemed peeresses who were chosen as train bearers for the Queen during her coronation ceremony. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see Lady Elizabeth Percy gracefully walking alongside Lord Geoffrey Percy. Lady Margaret Cavendish-Bentinck also stands tall beside them, all three exuding elegance and poise. The Duchess of Northumberland completes the quartet as they exit the grandeur of Westminster Abbey. The presence of these noblewomen is symbolic not only because they are participating in their first Coronation rehearsal but also because it signifies a shift towards inclusivity and recognition for women's roles within royal ceremonies. Their involvement highlights their importance and contribution to such historic events. The photo was taken by TopFoto. co. uk, an expert in preserving historical moments through photography. This monochrome masterpiece transports us back to a time between wars when Europe was undergoing immense change. It serves as a reminder that even amidst uncertainty and turmoil, traditions endure and new paths are forged
