The summer of 2022 saw the celebration of the seventieth
anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, the first time in
British history that a monarch has reached this remarkable
milestone. As the event was the first of its kind to be televised,
images from the ceremony inside Westminster Abbey are instantly
recognisable. Far less familiar are the scenes in the streets
outside, where huge crowds assembled to see a procession of state
coaches and historic regiments marching past public buildings
festooned with patriotic banners and colourful grandstands erected
outside many famous landmarks. Using a private collection of more
than 200 rare images of London's West End, Protect and Keep looks
back to the day that the Queen pledged herself to her country. It
provides a unique and precious record of an historic occasion: the
day of the Coronation as it was seen by ordinary members of the
public.
