Not My King Protest

  • Not My King protest, day of the Kings coronation

On the Day of King Charles coronation, I thought I would be able to photograph the crowds at Trafalgar Square and when I turned up, I encountered a massive green painted fence controlling the crowds and not letting those who where the wrong side of the fence see anything.This was causing a lot of anger and disappointment for a lot of people. As I was kept out of the coronation along with the protestors and others, so I photographed the protestors as that is what I could see.

On a photographic note this was the first time I used a 21mm lens on my Leica M11 camera as the area outside the barriers still had lots of disappointed crowds frustrated that they could not get in, milling around often in significant numbers and at time the police caused more congestion raising peoples frustration as the police essentially kept the protestors at the end of their march in a restricted area in from of the National Gallery and the crowds where forced though a small area between the protestors and the green fence that taunted them but would not let them see anything of to coronation parade. Thereby creating a us and them feeling for those outside the fence, the opposite of what the TV coverage of the event was giving people at home.
