Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

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

Yes @a1234567
As mother of an (ex) girl chorister I'm very pleased.

She did get to sing for Prince Charles (as he was) and I think she thought he was the lucky one getting to meet her 😉

Hopefully Zadoc the Priest on the playlist for after the sombre bits. I’m waiting for that one. I’m honestly here for the tunes.

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

Yes, if that's ok, I will do so.

Yes, 3 I think

She has a bad back and missed some reception thing yesterday I imagine she is dosed up on painkillers

Wondering what Camilla is thinking. Would she do it all again? Presumably though just hoping to get through OK.

I love Zadoc the priest

She looks like she's left the coat hanger in her dress

Thanks, Casuaala.

Think so - there's a Freddy Parker- Bowles listed.

There was something on the BBC London news recently about the throne. I think the gist was they can't risk restoring it in case it falls apart. I don't think we can have an obese monarch or it would all descend into farce when he tried to sit on it.

I’m on BBC can’t bring myself to switch

That's an awful red 80s wallpaper design on those things in front of them.

Oof..I've been watching 24 hours in police custody a lot lately and my brain just genuinely registered the choirmaster's music stand as a censoring strip. I genuinely wondered why they'd had to censor out his crotch area!!!

DP is laughing at me.

My twopenn'orth:

We haven't yet had a pigeon flying around inside the Abbey, causing columbine havoc.

No mobile phones ringing.

His Majesty really could use a haircut. Too late now.

I really want HM to strike a Freddie Mercury-style pose when he gets his hands on the orb and sceptre.

I do think Camilla has had slight space cadet look about her in recent times. Hope she’s ok.

The King's pages are apparently Prince George, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, Master Nicholas Barclay, and Master Ralph Tollemache.

The Queen Consort's pages are her grandsons, Master Gus, Master Louis Lopes, and Master Freddy Parker Bowles; as well as her great-nephew, Master Arthur Elliot.

Her other pages are Gus & Louis Lopes - recognise the surname. And Arthur Eliot

@primoseyellow it’s just that he usually looks very red and today he doesn’t

What is kates tiara

Is space cadet a typo there..? Or a reference I don't understand?

I'm sorry I know the Tories are evil but Rishi Sunak is handsome

Prince George looking so grown up and anxious to get things right. I didnt expect to get emotional during this but have a lump in my throat

Where's the Stone of Scone?

Thankful not having to listen to Boris.
