This is a real good guide for all the timings for tomorrow - www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60617519

The bit at the end with the Lord Chamberlain will be the hardest to watch I think, signaling the end of his service to her, as will the act of separating her from her crown.

I know everyone isn't a royalist but today will be such a sad occasion.

We have a sleeper already! Guy on the back row behind Keir Starmer.

Women in very high heels make me nervous! I don't know how anyone can walk in them.

Why are they making the former PMs wait?

To put them in order.

The Abbey looks so beautiful

I agree with pp about not needing the loo though, looks tricky

stillherenow · 19/09/2022 10:24

Who is the guy next to Boris ?

Vapeyvapevape · 19/09/2022 10:24

The former PM's have aged well.

DysonSpheres · 19/09/2022 10:24

Liz Truss turning up

SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 19/09/2022 10:24

I don’t want to derail a lovely thread, but the utter hypocrisy of Sinn Fein sitting there is galling.

That’s my only moan. Back to admiring the pageantry.

I did smile when President Biden had to wait for people to pass first.

Theresa May's husband

Benefi · 19/09/2022 10:24

I think the former PMs were waiting so they could be seated in the correct order rather than having to stand up and squeeze past each other.

Who is sat on the row with Johnson?

Mooserp · 19/09/2022 10:24

What does Cheri Blair have pinned on her dress?

All of these archaic outfits must look strange to Americans.

Americans love this stuff! I thought the Bidens looked very respectful and a little emotional. Imagine if it had been Trump!

stillherenow · 19/09/2022 10:25

Liz Truss looks terrified ! Don't blame her!

Bouledeneige · 19/09/2022 10:25

Do you think BJs regretting fucking up? He could've been the current PM for this gig.

Benefi · 19/09/2022 10:25

Don't the Blairs look so much older now?

Does the Abbey have toilets? I wouldn't be able to wait for hours before the loo, maybe none have drunk anything before. It'd be so awkward to need the loo once seated!

Show quote history

Could have had Johnson next to Blair. And Cameron next to Brown...

Who is sat on the row with Johnson?

Theresa May and her husband, and David and Samantha Cameron

Front row is Tony & Cherie Blair, Gordon brown and his wife, John Major and his Wife

Agree and yes imagine!

stillherenow · 19/09/2022 10:26

I'd have gone nil by mouth from yesterday evening to avoid needing the loo!

wonderstuff · 19/09/2022 10:26

really feel for Liz Truss, I don’t like having to do a school assembly, imagine having to speak at this.

Flyingbymypants · 19/09/2022 10:26

What is going on with Tony Blair's hair?

stillherenow · 19/09/2022 10:27

Do you think May put her husband next to Boris to avoid speaking to him?!

GoodbyeLilibet · 19/09/2022 10:27
