Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

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

<plonks arse on thread>

Talking of flags, aren't those carpets in the Abbey Ukrainian yellow and blue?

I'm really excited. I love this shit.

It's a terribly long time for the people to be waiting in the Abbey! I'd have a numb bottom before it even started. I hope they have secret snacks.

Thank you for the Bach info.

(I too thought the yellow and blue were a bit pointed. Sure it's just a coincidence ;) ).

It's a shame the weather is a bit miserable
Looking forwards to the concert tomorrow at Windsor , will watch it on tv

I'd be worried about needing the loo! Are they allowed to get up and go for a wee before the King gets there?

The weather is a shame, I wonder why they chose May.

I would probably wear a tena just in case.

@Casuaala because of the local elections!

I've had to mute this bit , a little to screechy for me !

because of the local elections! In what way?

Ooh, I do enjoy a marching band.

I heard that there were 7000 troops on parade today. The cost must be phenomenal.

Beautiful choir😍

Hello my tribe! Totally not a royalist, just here for the pomp and historic spectacle :)
I too have been thinking about numb bums, large hats and nervous wees. Proper highbrow 😂

Flicked on to BBC, nice to see the choir and musicians being recognised.

Morning everyone... I do like a mumsnet watch along.

Just downloaded the order of service... didn't realise how many people were involved

I'm watching!!

Dame Thompson shown taken a quick nibble from her handbag.

Do like a bit of celeb spotting

Yes I wondered that !

Where's best to watch? I'm not yet but I'll put in on at some point I imagine.

I’m watching bbc still inside abbey, itv have the start of the parade, much better!

There was a guardian article last week

I do love watching the parade

Did anyone catch who the choir were?
