Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

Is anyone else watching alone and fancying a thread to chat about the coverage?

ITV coverage better IMO

Loved John Major, the Blairs, Browns and Camerons all kissy kissy and the Mays, Johnsons and Trusses very much not.

John major (who agree doesn't age) trying to extract his hand from C Blair was funny.

Agree about Macron's being best dressed so far

Boris has had a go at his hair , but it looks a bit long.
Nice to see so many vibrant colours

Mrs Sunak looks lovely

I thought it was really interesting that Major, the Blairs, Camerons all looked really pally. And then Boris, May and Truss barely looked at each other.

Loved Hamza Yousufs sparkly lapels!

And then Boris, May and Truss barely looked at each other.

Perhaps they'd met up earlier?

I like Sarah Brown's dress, classy, and the small fascinator is good too in the circumstances

Can’t stand Liz Truss. Her unnecessary budget screwed the economy instantly, thanks to her I’m now over 2 k a year worse off because my mortgage payments increased by over £200 pm, after going onto a new deal.
She now has the privilege of being an ex PM, with all the niceties and perks that come with it.

Does Liz Truss feel no shame or embarrassment? She’s a disgrace.

Did Huw just say "St Christopher and Nevis".??

I'm not a conservative, but I liked John Major
It does look as if they do actually get on.
Well, some of them do ..

Boris Johnson needed someone to give him a final check over and straighten his shirt collar and pull a brush through his hair.

I noticed that... the Blairs, Camerons, and John Major looked like they were going to have a proper catch up after the service

The Johnsons, Truss and Mays didn't

Akshata Murthy looked beautiful too

As long as we don't have that off-his-face fool Kwarteng gurning and twitching in the Abbey, as at the Queen's funeral, I can put up with Truss.

I can't see any foreign royalty. Have they arrived?

Cherie Blair makes me feel so anxious. It looked like she was giving John Major condolences, hope not. I've always liked him, he could have steered the Conservatives through Covid. Even though I still wouldn't agree with his politics, think watching his season in The Crown showed how much QE2 thought of him. Sam Cam looks gorgeous.

What’s with all the holdy-hands? Can’t people walk up an aisle without losing one another? 😆

“Perhaps they'd met up earlier?”

Nah- suspect they hate or at best barely tolerate each other.

Does Liz Truss feel no shame or embarrassment? She’s a disgrace. I agree.

Sunak's wife looked lovely, much better than her dress last night

Do you think the bear skin hats are like sponges?

I've rather fancied John Major since Jonny Lee Miller played him in The Crown [facile alert]

I think (could be wrong) that the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis is the official name.
