Coronation Watch-Along II

[Casuaala]

Carry on.

Thread one:

Does anyone know anything about the choir? Most of to em are just wearing standard church choir robes, then some have the fancy red coats and there's a row of people in tuxes at the back. What's the significance, anyone know?

Oh I’ve already gone all goose pimply.

The choir is absolutely sublime. Especially in this plainsong. Can't fault it at all..

He looks a bit like Bernie Ecclestone.

Charlotte looks like a perfect little princess, absolutely nailed the outfits.

Penny Mordaunt will still feel like she’s holding that sword tomorrow!

I was going to ask this.
Some in robes, some in white tie, couple in tunics

Welsh composer of one of the pieces played before the King arrived. Possibly for the new Royal harpist?

This is Zadoc

Exactly what is disturbing?

Karl Jenkins, the composer

Oh wow! Zadoc!!!

@Coronationcapers it's the Welsh composer of i think the harp piece early on - Karl Jenkins.

I bet the choristers have been practising this for years.

@DrunkLineDancing @ConstanceReid Louis is five, a child, are the comments really necessary?
If he does have ADHD (unlikely and even more unlikely to be diagnosed at his age) your comments are targeting a child because of his neurodiversity and if not, it's just as bad using a medical condition as an insult to completely usual behaviours for a child his age. The comments about medication and Ritalin also completely miss the point that amphetamine based medications for a neurotypical person would act as a stimulant not a tranquilliser.

I think he is a Welsh bloke who has written some music for today

Isn't it strange to think the queen was only 27 when she had this. Must have been so scary, especially as it wasn't diverse/modern like now!

Zadoc!!

You're right. My bad.

Screens?

Yes, and a year older than the Jubilee. There were rehearsals for this - if he hadn't coped with them presumably he wouldn't have come, it wasn't made public in advance.

Love the highlighted passages so Welby doesn’t read the wrong part and promise to be a good king 😂

Here we go!

Penny is still holding that sword...! My arms would be toast.

Best part

I agree the comments about a young child are out of order. Leave the dcs alone.
