My Antique book series … “The Crowning of The King and Queen” - Told by Stephen King-Hall – Published on 12th May 1937 by Evans Brothers Limited, London. After a break I wish to continue to showcase my antique book collections.

Chapter One – The Crowning of The King and Queen Chapter Two – Why George VI will be crowned King Chapter Three – The lives of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Chapter Four – The King and the People Chapter Five – The Coronation Service There are plenty of photographs of the Royal families, Royal functions and many Royal Regalia. A proclamation was read on December 12th 1936 itself “ …..THAT THE HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE ALBERT FREDERICK ARTHUR GEORGE is now become our only lawful and Rightful Liege Lord, George the Sixth, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland, and the British Dominations beyond the Seas, King, Defender of Faith, Emperor of INDIA ……” A link to this post in WIKIPEDIA for interested readers - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronation_of_King_George_VI_and_Queen_Elizabeth
