AP - Britain Coronation AP Was There
This photograph of Queen Elizabeth II walking out of Westminster Abbey after her coronation on June 2, 1953, was sent by a British bomber to the United States and then over The Associated Press’ domestic Wirephoto network, as indicated in the advisory at the top of the image. The AP will muster a small army to cover King Charles III's coronation this weekend. For his mother's crowning 70 years ago, the wire service also enlisted the help of an air force. In 1953, it took eight minutes to transmit a single black-and-white photograph, provided the weather conditions and phone lines cooperated. So among the methods AP employed to deliver photos from London to its American newspaper clients was an arrangement to put them on Royal Air Force bombers. (AP Photo/Corporate Archives)
