Coronation Watch-Along II

[Casuaala]

Carry on.

Thread one:

Yes, definitely Jerusalem and maybe also I vow to thee my country.

Edward VI (Henry VIII's son) was only about 9 years old so had a shortened ceremony - shortened from 12 hours to 9 hours!

The music has been lovely
The choirs parents etc must be so proud

Henrietta Barnett?

Do you think you should be fully dressed in a suit and tie? Or a Pantsuit, or a cocktail dress? Or a smart skirt and freshly ironed cotton blouse and stilettoes....? To watch the coronation in your own house at 10:00 o'clock in the morning??? You're in your own house! 😂

Is it really that hilarious?
I like to brush my teeth and wash when I get up. Putting on jeans and a jersey takes a lot less time than that.
If people want to stay in their night wear, I see nothing wrong in it.
But there's a middle ground between that and suits, cocktail dresses and other silly suggestions.

Ooh liking the Boyce anthem very much.

I should think most of the adults are flagging now [opens crisps]

Apologies if it's already been mentioned... But where has Prince Louis disappeared to? Did anyone else notice he was there earlier but has now nowhere to be seen? 😁

I wonder if Sophie has been unwell? Looking drawn and tired poor thing

Someone said he's been allowed out for a break and some refreshments

There are also the girl choristers from Truro cathedral to balance the sexes. Charles wanted more equality, good for him

I'm still in bed!

Ooh, I do love John Rutter.

Ooh I’ve actually sung this one. It’s not easy.

Probably needed a wee! Or got bored and legged it. 😁

It has been mentioned.....

Me too

Thank you all re choir uniform! I wondered if that was the case. They sound great together!

Blimey it's a magnificent building - that shot of the ceiling was amazing.

He may reappear in time for the procession

Louis will be having a nap or something with the nanny. He did well to last so long but there was no point in him staying longer and getting fractious

I like it

Still cannot get over how stunningly beautiful Kate looks.

Yes it’s been amazing, plus all the individual singers.

Penny M must have been in the gym doing free weights for weeks and her core must be rock solid.

No - it must just be a popular choice for school hymn! All I can think of is one of our teachers who used to sing it as if she was indeed in an abbey choir.

And seven girl choristers from Methody in Belfast
