EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking impression captures the moment The King's Champion enters Westminster Hall during the banquet following the Coronation of King George V in 1911. Dating back over 500 years, this tradition is a testament to the rich history and grandeur of medieval ceremonies and the enduring traditions of the British monarchy. The Champion, a knight clad in full suit of armour and mounted on a powerful steed, proudly holds aloft a mace, symbolizing the monarch's authority and protection. Surrounded by an entourage of knights on horseback, the scene exudes an air of regal splendor and tradition. The horses, with their gleaming coats and obedient demeanor, add to the grandeur of the procession. The Champion's steed, with its proud posture and confident stride, reflects the strength and power of the monarchy. Westminster Hall, with its impressive Gothic architecture, serves as the perfect backdrop for this historic event. The intricate stonework and soaring arches evoke a sense of awe and reverence, fitting for the sacred ceremony of a monarch's coronation. The banquet, filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and lively conversation, represents the unity and celebration of the realm. The tradition of the Kings Champion continues to be an important part of the coronation ceremony, connecting us to the past and reminding us of the rich history and traditions of the British monarchy.
