Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

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

Is Charles wearing mink?

@TheLightSideOfTheMoon..

We went recently and it all looked so drab. I hope Charles with his love of plants does something to the front

Irish Draughts I think. One of the loveliest breeds ever in my experience.

Some enterprising person should go round with a barrow and a shovel and collect Coronation Manure

I hope HMK is in a good mood. I hope he's had a good breakfast.

Ermine.

I’m sure Cherie said give her our love to JM.

Yes. That's what I picture the carriage in Cinderella to look like. And that it's about to become a pumpkin or something

I thought Cherie's dress - though objectively nice - did her no favours at all.

Interesting contrast between Theresa May who is a huge fashion geek and has gone for something completely unique, and Sarah Brown who clearly isn't into clothes at all and grabbed whatever was the first vaguely suitable hit on the M&S website. I like both women, but they're very different approaches. Either that or Sarah accidentally spilled an entire blueberry smoothie down her original outfit at breakfast and had to grab whatever was in her wardrobe.

If you haven't heard it, the Dead Ringers 3 part Christmas special on BBC Sounds is hilarious re Truss.

Thanks for letting me know. Absolutely amazing animals.

It's historic and all that bit its also making me cringe a bit. Don't know why.

fascinating facts about the coach!

Irish Draughts I think. One of the loveliest breeds ever in my experience. Claire Balding on BBC said they were Windsor Greys

This looks truly spectacular I have to say. The crowds would be deafening in person.

I suffer with vertigo and labyrinthitus and I would have to have someone to hold onto walking as somewhere unfamiliar
It may look a bit odd holding someone's arm , but you don't know why they do , it could be for balance or just feeling a bit safer.
The King looks a bit nervous
The carriage is amazing
Cherie Blair didn't look that well to me tbh

Not keen on the blue on the horses? What's that about?

King looks a little nervous to me.

Sam Cam’s dress was lovely but see through on her legs! Like Diana’s

They both do.

Could just be that that coach is supposedly really uncomfortable!

I love the blue on the horses - it makes them really stand out in the precession amongst the red

Not keen on the blue on the horses? What's that about? It's royal blue isn't it?

The carriage is spectacular, with all the mod cons added!

Coach parade is sensational.
. Has Harry arrived and others royals

Is anyone else worried about the horses? Quite a few of them in the parade seem a bit unmanageable.
