Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

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

some of those horses don’t seem very happy about it all!

Windsor Greys?

Is it something to do with the regiment colours?

I think they look amazing.

The Windsor greys are Irish Draughts I think.

They're certainly frisky!

Surprised my invite hasn't arrived if they let Liz Truss in.
Some of the horses look a bit freaked out.

I'm a bit surprised that all the former PM's got to bring a plus one. Weren't we told only a few select politicians would get that privilege?

Yes that one at the front seemed distressed.

i am not sure whether that is a breed or not though. A colour selection perhaps. Like palomino.

I used to have an Irish Draught, dappled grey. Huge and yet gentle.

Ok, as a former soldier I have some respect for the RF. Im not a royalist but I quite like them.

But ,it does seem a bit strange that one human being can get so much respect simply for being born into the RF

I don’t blame them at all, it’s what they’re born into. I’m sure Charles is a nice man and means well.

But he’s not ‘famous’ for being talented or good at anything. He was simply the Queens first born.

Sorry, no negativity from me again !

The horses do look spooked.
It must be an ordeal for them

What time exactly is the crown going on his head (sorry I’m typing quickly!) kids are getting bored so gonna go for a walk. Can someone please tell me as I don’t want to miss it.

I've googled and I think that's just what the specific royal ones are called.

I thought sam cam and rishi’s wife won the best dressed, although both are slim and tall so maybe unfair but their dresses looked amazing

Popping in.
I thought Joe Biden's granddaughter was Cindy Beale off Eastenders and that they'd dyed the horses manes blue.
Eye test appointment booking for me on Tuesday.

I'm really enjoying it though anyway.
No one else I know irl is watching.

Midday apparently

Liz Truss looks like she got her dress from Next

I hope we're not missing the other royals arriving while watching the carriage.

The drummer with the frisky horse has quite the job to do!

BBC not showing the crowds at all, I find it detracts from the atmosphere!

I thought Cherie Blair looked happy and relaxed. Also was it me or did all the former PM say hi to each other but Blair and Cameron ignored each other?

The ermine brings out Charles' white hair, it's just hit me that he's being crowned at 74.

This really made me laugh.

I hope Charles and Camilla are both okay.

I know ! Bet they’re in there listening to it all on The world service 😀
loving all of it , so much work has gone into this
they should all be applauded

Yes agree. Both looked fab. Model figures though 😀
