Légende

Dr. G. F. Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury, c1953. Geoffrey Francis Fisher (1887-1972), 99th Archbishop of Canterbury, officiated at the marriage of Princess Elizabeth in Westminster Abbey in 1947, and after her accession to the throne he led the coronation service in 1953, and crowned her as queen. He was later drawn into a controversy when the Queen's younger sister, Princess Margaret, was romantically linked with Peter Townsend, a divorced man. The Church of England regarded marriage as a lifelong commitment and divorcés or divorcées could not remarry in church.
