114 years ago today, on June 23, 1911 (May 27, 1911 in the lunar calendar), King George V of England was crowned. Three hours after the king wore a crown worth 60,000 pounds and weighing 10 pounds to attend the ceremony, the crown was too heavy and the king's cervical spine was injured. On June 23, 1911, King George V of England was crowned at Westminster Abbey in London. The coronation ceremony symbolizes the continuation of the monarchy tradition. The dark clouds in the outdoor sky and the dim colors inside contrast sharply with the bright and ornate dresses, uniforms, and jewelry of the people who came to attend the coronation ceremony. At 8 a.m., Westminster Abbey was packed with people preparing to stay here for a day. The streets were crowded with thousands of people who had to wait for hours just to catch a glimpse of the royal procession as it passed by. King George V was deeply impressed by the ceremony: "The weather was exactly as we expected, with a fiery sun, no wind, no clouds in the sky... I put on a new crown worth £ 60,000 to be paid by the Indian government and made specifically for this event..." The celebration lasted three hours. "Very tired," the king wrote at the end of the day."After wearing this new crown... I may have hurt my head, this thing is too heavy." The coronation ceremony seemed so grand, perhaps because of the troubling political background of the year: socialism, strikes and recent attacks on the aristocracy.
