EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Statue of Queen Boudicca of the Iceni, located on the Westminster Embankment at the end of Westminster Bridge in London, stands proudly amidst the bustling scene of the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The image captures the historical significance of the moment as the new monarch is being crowned, with the iconic statue of Boudicca serving as a powerful reminder of the rich and complex history of the British Isles. Boudicca, also known as Boudica or Buddug, was a powerful queen of the Iceni tribe in ancient Britain, who led an uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60-61. The rebellion, known as the Iceni Revolt or the Boudiccan Revolt, was a significant challenge to Roman rule and resulted in widespread destruction and loss of life. The statue of Boudicca, which was unveiled in 1902, is a symbol of resistance and resilience, and has long been a source of inspiration for those seeking to challenge authority and fight for their rights. In this photograph, the statue is framed by the modern backdrop of the coronation celebrations, highlighting the continuity of history and the enduring legacy of the past. The 1950s were a time of social change and cultural transformation in Britain, and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II marked a significant moment in the country's history. This photograph captures the spirit of the era, with the statue of Boudicca serving as a powerful reminder of the past and the resilience of the British people. The image is a testament to the enduring power of history and the importance of remembering the past as we move forward into the future.
