Description | 1937 Coronation - Abbey guests stranded in rain after ceremo |
Details |
Peers and peeresses taking shelter during the height of the downpour which occurred at the most inconvenient possible moment after having held off during the Coronation ceremony of King George VI. A torrential downpour afterwards meant that a large proportion of the 7500 guests at Westminster Abbey were left stranded waiting for cars up to five hours after the event had finished.
