I am a Republican - but will still be watching as a good line up. Just seen Queen and Adam Lambert being interviewed.

I think part of it is them following dress codes for being in the royal box, same with the football and other formal occasions (like trooping the colour). He'll be casual the rest of the time I'm sure! There were some lovely pictures of him feeding the ducks with his Gran a few years back in shorts, t shirt and trainers.

There's smart but a suit? He's dressed formally 24/7

He is very good covering the sport bit.

Tom Daley forgotten his shirt there

Did they not vet most of these singers prior to them performing ? Christ, most of them can't hold a tune, or have lost their vocal range with age. In fact, Andre Botchelli is the best so far and I am not a fan of his, but at least he can sing!

Andrea Bocelli is magnificent.

Zippidy123 · 04/06/2022 21:21

Iflyaway Royal box for you.

Who is conducting? Nice to see a woman in that position!

MrsGrealish · 04/06/2022 21:22

Agree. That voice

MrsDThomas · 04/06/2022 21:22

Time to quit the rapping shit now and get decent music on.

Boccelli✅

Zippidy123 · 04/06/2022 21:22

MotherOfRatios oh yes, I agree, I was just saying why I think they dress him like that. I'm not agreeing with it.

Does anyone know who is wielding the baton for the orchestra tonight? She is doing a cracking job and wearing a beautiful gown.

Duran Duran …my live in boyfriend was Simon Le Bon in the 80s !!
The Royal Box looks so awkward!

CuriousMama · 04/06/2022 21:27

I've been looking online and can't find anything. It looked like the orchestra may have been entirely female too, but not sure.

GoodVibesHere · 04/06/2022 21:28

Blimey Duran Duran are awful

CuriousMama · 04/06/2022 21:28

I'd have cried if I'd been there listening to Andrea
