Coronation Watch-Along

[Casuaala]

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

She looks like a daffodil!

It’s certainly striking and those diamonds look real.
Regarding the armed forces, I wish they hadn’t got rid of the ‘height’ rule, especially for the Guards, having them all different heights looks really untidy.
I noticed at the Queen’s funeral that the rows of service personnel were quite ‘wavy’ - there really isn’t an excuse for it.

Effortlessly stylish in that total French way.

Don't hate her at all for that.

Brigitte Macron looks amazing, love her outfit. Thought her husband was looking a bit weary, maybe recent events have taken a toll on him.

Absolutely loving the musical programme 😍

Security is probably super tight anyway that actually individual security details probably weren't deemed necessary

Interesting to hear the difference between operatic and choir sopranos...

Bloody love a good bit of drill.
and a good display of medals

Love Black Rod et al prancing through the streets with a huge gold mace, and no one's paying any attention because it's not the most spectacular sight today.

Me too

The musicians are incredible - anyone know where / how I can get a list of the music as I find this beautiful.

A few have had fairly obvious bodyguards around them I thought. For good reason no doubt!!!

Isn’t the lack of straight lines annoying you LtEve?

The BBC say you can download the Order of Service. It may be on that?

I love all the horses

Link to order of service on this page:
www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-news/buckingham-palace-publishes-order-of-service-for-the-coronation-of-the-king-and-queen

It's all on the order of service available on the bbc. Website

We are about to go on the second page

Thank you to everyone sharing knowledge and materials x

The bbc has the full order or service as a download, not just the webpage as that doesn't have all the details I don't think (they put the qr code on the screen a while ago) and it gives the music.

Apollo the drum horse playing up, he's magnificent.

Beautiful horses but make me so nervous that they won't behave😆

Ooh, yes, loving the horses going by.

My OH has gone out on his motorbike for a few hours, so I can watch it peace. Watching more itv at the mo, liking how they are showing more of the military parades.

Radio Three are broadcasting the music only without commentary and so I expect there will be a list and the opportunity to stream on BBC Sounds. I agree - beautiful!

Can I just ask all you knowledgeable folks whether I will be able to watch this later as unfortunately I have to go out in a minute. Maybe on catch up?

Greensleeves.

Monsieur Macron is effortlessly cool isn't he?
