Coronation Watch-Along II

[Casuaala]

Carry on.

Thread one:

Half those at Queens funeral were singing "quing" half queen half king

What's this piece of music please? (that they're walking out to)

She had a neck support for it though didn’t she- I saw her take it off when she handed the sword over. But a sterling job nonetheless

Not so happy, yet much happier.

Bet Charles just wants to get back home now to his plants and put on his slippers with a cuppa.

I recall watching that on a 12 inch black and white TV in my parents' front room with the curtains closed as you needed to to see the fuzzy picture and many neighbours crowded in too as we had one of the few TVs in the avenue. It was either the Coronation or the Cup Final the previous month, the real reason my Dad stumped up for a TV!

They are amazing but to see them know it's a queue and then a fleeting glimpse as you go along the travelator.

So many not bowing or curtseying to the King!

Charles looks much more relaxed now.

I love this music

I'd want a cup of tea after all that

Bell ringing so evocative

I wonder if all the bishops under went fitness testing to choose the ones to 'support' C&C?!

I've seen everyone bowing their heads, not many can curtsey with chairs in the way.

Glad HMK's looking a bit more relaxed now.

Wow! Look at that carriage!

I'm sure it's not deliberate (??) but I love how in most shots of the family Anne's headdress obscures Harry's face.

Love the bells

I remember my mum telling me the same - they had so many people round to watch as TVs were rare.

Anne didn't go, she was interviewd for an earlier Jubilee and said she hadn't been happy to be left home and Charles hadn't been happy with his hair Brylcreemed down!

Bells are great!

The bells are good
It's a shame the sun stayed away
I hope they can do the fly past later on

The "old" carriage is truly impressive.

God that was dull and dragged on. Reminds me of going to the cathedral for services at the beginning and end of term during my time at secondary school

😴😴😴

"The largest military parade for 70 years".

We all are really. I imagine it would have been the same in 1953..."God Save the Ki...ueen" for quite a while!
