Ruthy Lachman Paul, Norcross, easily recognized the recent mystery, as “Westminster Abbey, London England. Formally known as the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster, is an Anglican church in the City of Westminster, London, England. Since 1066, it has been the location of the coronations of 40 English and British monarchs and a burial site for 18 English, Scottish, and British monarchs. At least 16 royal weddings have taken place at the abbey since 1100. The Abbey closed for five months in 1953, when a colossal bank of tiered seats was added for more than 8,000 guests at Elizabeth’s II coronation ceremony.” The photo came from Terry Swain of Auburn.
Others recognizing this photo included Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who added: “It is the site of the coronations of 40 English and British monarchs and a burial site for 18 English, Scottish, and British monarchs, and since 1100, at least 16 royal weddings have taken place here. The North Transept shown in the mystery photo was completed in the 13th century during the reign of Henry III.”
