Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

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

The Horse Guard look great, but my heart belongs to the senior service.

a1234567 I'm the biggest heathen on the planet but the Magnificent is a cracking piece of music isn't it?

DS1 aged 12 said ; 'Not to be funny or anything but Jill Biden's daughter is really pretty'.

(His computer has been confiscated for bad behaviour so he is watching with me).

US Presidents have never attended Coronations... they fought for independence! It's not a personal snub; Biden is just following a very long tradition

(His computer has been confiscated for bad behaviour so he is watching with me). Ha!

I've got ITV on telly & BBC on laptop

I totally agree with your sentiment here about both.

Agreed. (I don’t think we have enough of them to make a decent parade though?)

My sisters and I are agreeing that we would be up and down for wees several times if we had to get to the abbey for 8am

Love this Soloists frock especially the sleeves and the colour

I heard an argument against that, along the lines of readily available air travel being a new invention since the last coronation.

Now that's a proper soprano dress!

What the heck is that yellow outfit the singer is wearing??

Love this Soloists frock especially the sleeves and the colour

Absolutely. Just right for her position up there in the Abbey.

Wow look at those sleeves/shoulder pads!!😳😳

Also liking her jewellery

It’s amazing!

That's some dress!

It must be a daffodil! I like it!

Wow that yellow dress! Have to be a beautiful woman like her to carry that off!

She looks like an Angel on high up there

Now that's a proper soprano dress! Heh, yes.

(Should say, I quite like the symbolism of the US president not attending).

Crikey that’s a bright yellow but I guess good choice so that she can be spotted up in the balcony. Beautiful voice

It was lovley to hear clapping in the abby!

A daffodil for music by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins perhaps
