Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

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

@SoupDragon great minds! Same thought!

Or Truss. shudders at the thought

Please post the link to the new thread before this one finishes

I looked for it earlier as I thought it might be visible underneath. So it's hidden?

It's a Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen headpiece apparently.

I wish we could see more of her dress under the robe.

Or Truss who makes nails on a chalkboard seem like ASMR. She was an assault on the Queen’s funeral.

He's there in his role as PM not in a religious one.

Stuff of nightmares

I hope that book (bible?) is fixed firmly to the cushion

You would think Charles would learn his lines. He's had long enough.

Can never summon any animus against Sunak, he's all right, despite disagreeing with him on most things.

Shame he didn't read from a Hindu holy book..

Rishi could be a Jedi and read the bible. He's PM, he's doing his job.

Why the outrage over Rishi Sunak doing a Bible reading? He’s the PM, it’s expected.

Not much different to a non-believer doing a Bible reading at someone’s wedding.

Too great a risk of forgetting due to the emotion of the moment I imagine

He is an elderly man and it's a high pressure situation, it's fine to read them.

I think he kept changing things.

i agree. The sentiments are often the same across all religions.

Bishop Sarah is about to read the gospel. I did a placement with her a few years ago: she is a force of nature!

Exactly.

Indeed. I was shouting at the TV 🤦🏻‍♀️

I didnt expect to get emotional during this but have a lump in my throat

Me too, more than once.

Re Sunak, I quite like the diverse, multi-faith nature of the service.

(I am keeping an eye on the post count).

Unlike Boris Johnson's reading at the Jubilee about truth and integrity 😂

Oh yes!! Love Charles!!

Love Gospel music.
