A look back: King Hussein's Coronation in 1953

Coronation

Here is this week's "look back" picture. Once again, the photo is provided by the one and only Abdo. [Click to enlarge]. The captions reads:

"Members of the Arab Legion rehearsed their great parade for the coronation of King Hussein of Jordan. The parade will take place at Amman airport on May 3rd, the day following the coronation ceremony." [Dated 30.4.1953]

Is not this awesome? Thanks again Abdo for sharing these wonderful pictures with us.
