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

I didn't know it was on this morning, I thought I'd miss it, as I am going out this afternoon to celebrate May with pagans in a wood.
Very happy that KC wanted the Green Man on the coronation invitations, perhaps a nod to us?

I know Queen Elizabeth will be watching over Charles today.

So will Diana 😢

I don’t think I could remember my name in his situation. I’d probably have to read the responses too.

Same. I'd be so nervous that I'd forget everything.

William must be thinking this will be me and then my son one day ....

Did I hear the ITV commentator get that the wrong way round when he repeated it straight after ?

Might be wrong , just wondering

Show quote history

Yes he did!

This must be so hard. You've been bought up knowing this time would come, you've been readied for it, but the person you'd most love to be there has to die for you to get to this day. I'd def want my mummy 😞

Oh man, so true 😭

polkadotdalmation · 06/05/2023 11:21

Will they be doing zidovudine the priest music. I love that

polkadotdalmation · 06/05/2023 11:21

Zadoc the priest!

Not sure if it has already been mentioned but hasn’t he got rather podgy fingers?! He’s not a huge bloke but he’s got fingers that look like 5th belong to a bloated Henry VIII

Like this...

Love the comb over

If he got rid of that combover sprayed down onto his pate, he'd be as bald as William.

DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy · 06/05/2023 11:22

@iamnottoofatiamjusttooshort yes he got it the wrong way round! I rewound it to listen again. I thought they might re say it correctly but I guess nobody noticed

Podgey fingers are probably arthritis. He is 75 after all!

Inyournewdress · 06/05/2023 11:22

I haven’t been able to watch it all but to me Charles doesn’t look overwhelmed, or sad. Not at all.

I'm sticking with BBC now, was flicking between but then kept missing stuff.

Spareincoming · 06/05/2023 11:23

Just had our postie pop in to watch for 5 minutes! He’s gutted to be working, he was a guard in the golden jubilee - armed forces - and would appear to be a massive royalist!

This is all so beautifully done and I feel genuinely happy for them. Feel quite emotional watching it actually. I think that Charles is such a quietly insightful man- he was talking about climate change and environmental issues decades ago and was dismissed as a bit fanciful, but he was right.

I agree, and mocked for it (when he talked of environmental damage long before anyone else)

AutisticLegoLover · 06/05/2023 11:23

@Inyournewdress he looks bored and like he needs to use the lavatory. Horsey face wasn't even looking at him.

IAmNotOkay · 06/05/2023 11:23

@Casuaala
Could you make a thread 2 before we run out of room? Always easier to find if the op does it!

Who are the ladies in white next to camilla

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

(I always find the familiarity with, and focus on, Prince Louis a bit odd).

Camilla looks a bit out of body, don't you think? Are any of her grandchildren pages?

Mumtobabyhavoc · 06/05/2023 11:23

@Hidingawaytoday hadn't thought of that. Now imagining a Monty Python skit about it. 😂
