A 'Long Live The King' arch, with royal and civic armorial shields, in Ramsden Street, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England, specially built to celebrate the Coronation of the British monarch, King George VI, on 12 May 1937. Alongside the flag of the United Kingdom, the Union Jack or Union Flag, the flags of other British Empire nations are displayed. Below the arch, an old man in a dark coat crosses the street smoking a pipe. On the left, behind the arch, is a sign for 'Whitfield's Pianos, Radio, Records'. This photograph was taken by George T Blenkhorn and Kathleen Blenkhorn ARPS (Associate of the Royal Photographic Society), who lived in Birkby, Huddersfield, at the time, and comes from a Blenkhorn family album. King George VI, father of the present British Queen, Elizabeth II, succeeded to the throne in 1936 on the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII. Edward married Wallis Simpson and the couple were subsequently titled Duke and Duchess of Windsor. D1342.B7010.A
