ABOUT THESE IMAGES
TO CELEBRATE THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE QUEEN’S CORONATION, A UNIQUE ONE-OFF EVENT FOR
60,000 VISITORS WAS HELD IN THE GARDENS OF BUCKINGHAM PALACE. THE CORONATION FESTIVAL TOOK
PLACE OVER FOUR DAYS IN JULY 2013 AND WAS HOSTED BY THE ROYAL WARRANT HOLDERS, THOSE
COMPANIES THAT SUPPLY GOODS AND SERVICES TO THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO
ATTEND ON THE LAST DAY AND I WAS IMMEDIATELY IMPRESSED WITH THE SCALE OF THE EVENT. IT WAS
HUGE. IT WAS ALSO EXTREMELY BUSY. I ONLY HAD SIX HOURS TO SHOOT AND TO BE HONEST. WITH SO MUCH
HAPPENING, IT WAS QUITE OVERWHELMING FIGURING OUT WHAT TO SEE, THERE WAS SO MUCH TO CHOOSE.
IN THE END, I SPENT MOSTOF MY TIME AT THE CATWALK SHOWS AS THE SETTING WAS QUITE MAGICAL AND
THE SHOWS THEMSELVES WERE SUPERBLY STAGED. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE WAS THE ABSENCE OF A PRESS
AREA, AND WITH THE SHOWS DRAWING HUGE CROWDS, GETTING A GOOD POSITION FOR THEM ALL WASN’T
EASY. THE GARDENS ARE A MAGNIFICENT LOCATION FOR HOLDING UPSCALE EVENTS LIKE THIS AND IT WAS
GREAT TO SEE BRITISH COMPANIES BEING SHOWCASED. I REALLY THINK THIS IS AN EVENT THAT SHOULD
TAKE PLACE AGAIN, PERHAPS EVERY OTHER YEAR, IT WAS THAT GOOD. I COULD EASILY HAVE SPENT FOUR
DAYS THERE, SO IN THE SHORT TIME I HAD I’M REALLY HAPPY WITH THE SHOTS I GOT. I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM.
