Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

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

Was anyone else hoping Floella would step up to the mic and announce “Today boys and girls we’ll be watching through the round window” 🧸

What happens if someone needs the toilet? A two hour ceremony plus travelling to and from it is quite long! I can’t imagine you can just get out your seat and go to the toilet 🙈

The young princess Charlotte is wearing an Alexander McQueen dress and cape in ivory silk crepe with ivory stitch embroidery featuring rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs, to signify the four nations.

Same.

Who was the guy who looked like a younger Jamie Bamber?

Charles looks genuinely overcome with emotion

Who are two older ladies in white with camilla ?

Auntie Floella ❤️

Showing your age there!

Charles looks so emosh

Her sister, and a lady in waiting - not sure who.

I assumed they were ladies in waiting?

It would have made my entire year if that happened 😂

I was thinking that they might all have the Tena Lady on, like postwomen do on a long round. (Lowers tone)

Her sister, Annabel Elliot, and her longtime friend and current queen's companion Lady Lansdowne

HMK looks overwrought. Camilla is such a boon for him, she seems so steadying and reassuring.

This whole thing makes me so proud to be British. It’s heartwarming to see the diversity of the congregation.

He needs to tighten up a bit or he'll never get through this

🤣🤣

I think they are Anabel Eliot and The Marchioness of Lansdowne - Queen Companions

You lot make me laugh. Thanks for the watch along, I'm on my own so nice to be talking about it.

Agreed about KC seeming to be overwhelmed/awed it makes him human and more likeable.

(My mum used to save those stamps up !)

The new King looks like he might faint
It must be so overwhelming

Thank you

He's going to cry again. It's all too much.

I find watching quite stressful in case something awful happens.
My father could never watch Torville & Dean in case one of them fell over and that’s how I feel.
