Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

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

@Sunseeker100 are you taking about the Lilac one

I get most of my news from the radio and podcasts so I'm afraid I don't recognise some of these men in suits.

just switched over to ITV. Very cross with BBC! Dont know how to watch ITV on my laptop ...

That pink gown and turban is quite a lot for a morning service.

Joanna Lumley looks great.

(Washing machine beeping, back in a minute).

Nick Cave is there! What's the connection there I wonder.

Now they are interviewing Jamie Oliver FFS!

Sky News coverage is much better but Kay Burley's voice grates on me

Haha bless you, what a sweet thing to think about 😄

We haven't got Sky and I hate Kay Burley

We haven't got Sky either but Sky News is on Freeview

Watching on the BBC

Bloody ITVs doing some dull piece about the red arrows.

The news editors have no idea what people really want to watch.

Too much filler

BBC is going to have Clare Balding later.

Thanks I didn't even know we had Sky News! Picture quality is shit though. I think I'll go and have a bath.

Sky have the fab Alistair Bruce, which helps negate the Burley (who seems to be obsessed with spotting Ant and Dec)

Oh, this music is great. Is it Bach?

I wonder what the king is doing right now. I wonder how the royals are feeling. I wonder how those responsible for security are feeling.

Is that music being played now or is that the rehearsal?

It’s now, live!

I think it might be live because you can see congregation through the door.

kirsty looks great. Lots of red, blue in the outfits, I am guessing to match the union flag.
just realised that the 3 outfits Kate has worn last couple of days were red, white, blue

Ooh, there's the king and queen leaving Clarence House!

The flags on the Mall look good. God knows what the Common Wealth must think of their flags flying.

Ugh, can't stand Justin Welby.

The music was Bach's Magnificat. Fantastic piece.
