 1953年的加冕仪式

1953年6月2日,英国女王伊丽莎白二世举行了加冕仪式,整个国家都加入了庆祝活动。

这是对那个重要日子的个人描述:

"实际上,唯一的问题是典型的英国天气......大雨倾盆!"!

但这并不妨碍全国各地的人们在其城镇的装饰街道上举行聚会,在伦敦,道路上挤满了等待观看游行的人们。

大批的伦敦群众拒绝因天气而沮丧,他们中的大多数人在前一天晚上在拥挤的人行道上度过,等待这个特殊日子的开始。

有史以来第一次,英国的普通民众将能够在自己的家中观看君主的加冕仪式。 今年早些时候宣布,女王的加冕仪式将通过电视转播,电视机的销售量也随之激增。

显然,政府内部对于对这样一个庄严的场合进行电视转播是否 "正确和恰当 "存在很多争议。 当时包括温斯顿-丘吉尔爵士在内的几位内阁成员敦促女王拒绝对仪式进行电视转播,从而使自己免受热浪和摄像机的影响。

女王冷冷地收到了这个消息,并拒绝听取他们的抗议。 年轻的女王亲自击溃了马歇尔伯爵、坎特伯雷大主教、温斯顿-丘吉尔爵士和内阁......她已经做出了决定!

她的动机很明确,在她的加冕和她的人民的参与权之间不能有任何障碍。

因此,1953年6月2日11点,全国各地的人们在他们的电视机前安顿下来。 与现在的电视机相比,这些电视机相当原始。 图片是黑白的,因为那时还没有彩色电视机,小小的14英寸屏幕是最受欢迎的尺寸。

女王来到威斯敏斯特教堂,看起来容光焕发,但教堂里有一个问题:地毯!这是个问题!

大教堂里的地毯铺设的方向不对,这意味着女王的长袍很难在地毯堆上轻松滑行。 女王金色壁炉上的金属流苏夹在地毯堆里,当她试图向前移动时,就会被抓伤。 女王不得不告诉坎特伯雷大主教,'让我开始'。

另一个问题是,女王在仪式上要用的、曾在她父亲的加冕仪式上使用的圣油在第二次世界大战的一次轰炸中被毁,而制造圣油的公司已经倒闭。

但幸运的是,公司的一位老亲戚保留了几盎司的原始基质,很快就补上了一批新的基质。

加冕仪式 "完全按照历史书上的规定进行,当圣爱德华王冠(这顶王冠只在实际加冕时使用)戴在她的头上时,全国人民通过电视机观看,共同庆祝。

因此,尽管有雨,但伊丽莎白二世女王的加冕仪式肯定是一个值得纪念的日子...... "上帝保佑女王"。
