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

Amazing voice though, made my hair stand on end!

sashagabadon · 06/05/2023 09:48

Perhaps she is welsh? Daffodil yellow

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

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

Agree on the US President symbolism. I like that too.

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

My thoughts exactly!

MrsFinkelstein · 06/05/2023 09:49

HaroldeVwilliam · 06/05/2023 09:39

Jill Biden??

Shocking that president didn't attend.

US Presidents have never attended.

It'd a huge compliment that FLOTUS has attended, they never have before.

Jill Biden and her granddaughter look fabulous.
And like other I wonder if the colour choice is a nod to Ukraine?

Am loving the music. The singer in the glorious yellow dress is amazing.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 06/05/2023 09:49

Just been googling the Nick Cave connection. He gives such an eloquent response to people criticising him for attending. I like weird too.

Casuaala · 06/05/2023 09:49

Ooh, her voice has made my eyes well!

Do any of your partner's act like mine ?
When I'm wanting to watch he will give a constant comments , it's all shit, rubbish , why is so and so there , these royals are just the same as you or me, should be happening blah blah blah . I'm glad why he leaves the room in a flounce !

Yes, I am in one room in my watching position. He is in the other room!

PerkingFaintly · 06/05/2023 09:50

Crown Imperial. Quite right too.

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 06/05/2023 09:50

She looks beautiful and sounds amazing

Notonthestairs · 06/05/2023 09:50

Just flicked on the coverage and was hoping there was a thread.
What a voice! (And dress and jewellery)

Lulu1919 · 06/05/2023 09:50

My husband at work ...so I'm enjoying this alone !!

a1234567 · 06/05/2023 09:51

Everything about that soprano was outstanding.

BillStickersIsInnocent · 06/05/2023 09:51

Who are all these folk still arriving? I thought they had to be seated by 9 - are these the VVIPs?

ShakeYourFeathers · 06/05/2023 09:51

Is that President Macron and his wife ??? That pale pink suits her

BillStickersIsInnocent · 06/05/2023 09:51

Ah yes I recognise Macron now

HaroldeVwilliam · 06/05/2023 09:52

Bridget macron I think always looks sensational.

Yiayoula · 06/05/2023 09:52

May I join you , please ? - ( shuffles in sideways, looking for a spare seat ).
Mme Macron looking very elegant there.

MrsFinkelstein · 06/05/2023 09:52

BillStickersIsInnocent · 06/05/2023 09:51

Who are all these folk still arriving? I thought they had to be seated by 9 - are these the VVIPs?

Yeah, Heads of State (Macron) and their representatives (FLOTUS).

a1234567 · 06/05/2023 09:52

Casuaala · 06/05/2023 09:49

Ooh, her voice has made my eyes well!

Me too. Will watch out for her career in the future. Really beautiful.

Casuaala · 06/05/2023 09:52

Yes, VVIP. The Macrons looking good. (Never thought of Mrs Macron looking old before though).

Oh Brigitte macron looks stunning!

No obvious bodyguards either which is intersting.

WhatWasISaying · 06/05/2023 09:52

I wonder why Huw isn't telling us who is who ...?

BillStickersIsInnocent · 06/05/2023 09:53

Thanks @Casuaala and @MrsFinkelstein
