Picture shows the staff at fabric makers, Richardson, Tee, Rycroft and Co

Picture shows the staff at fabric makers, Richardson, Tee, Rycroft and Co, in Portland Street, Manchester, as they prepare for the coronation of George VI. The country was rocked by the abdication of Edward VIII in December 1936, but the nation is now in a more hopeful mood with Edwards brother soon to be crowned the new king.
The coronation of George VI and his wife Elizabeth as king and queen of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth took place at Westminster Abbey, London, on 12 May 1937.
