Coronation Watch-Along II

[Casuaala]

Carry on.

Thread one:

Waves to KrasiTime - me too ! 🍷

Victorian school kids graffiti I think

Dressing gown ( super tunica ) of doom !
Lots of sword action
Penny looks a bit scared

So many steps to trip up or down 😬

Yes, it is, apparently.

Yep, from choir boys a few hundred years ago

I was wondering that too.

It's a nice touch to have the Greek choir in reference to Philip.

I think it's her choice, she probably just went somewhere and said I need a very special outfit. It's fab, modern, but very suitable.

I bet they can't wait to go and have a glass of champagne cup of tea and some sandwiches!

It's from the Greek Orthodox tradition in a nod to Prince Philip's Greek heritage.

Dp just pointed out all the graffiti on the throne, hadn't seen that before.

The moustache bloke is Karl Jenkins the composer, there's been a few answers but guess the threads move fast.

Absolutely loving the Greek Orthodox choir. Sounds more medieval than the plainsong.

Yes, it's brilliant isn't it. The Archbishop was explaining it in an interview with Huw

She must have been given a steer but the colour is unusual so must have been her choice. Think she’s first female in this role ever. I think it should have been floor length and would have looked even better

If Harry misbehaves she can lean back wearing her tricorn hat and poke him!

The music is Greek Orthodox isn’t it?
Orthodox and Catholics have better church music <runs>

Waves back 🍷😁

She's got it back now, without the holder! Poor woman!

I adore all the archaic symbolic stuff. It's both fabulous and slightly bonkers.

All this symbolism is making me quite shivery

Penny has a new sword ⚔️
They love a sword

Agreed that Louis is suspiciously well-behaved. I also had a very lively one at that age, and there is no way he would have sat through an event of this length without "assistance" --and we are weekly church goers.

Penny must be relieved to set that sword down. 😁

Does this all get repeated for Camilla?

Poor Penny doesn’t have the sword rest now but is back to holding one.

Poor penny, back on their sword

I think if I were Charles I might be starting to feel a bit sick & faint!
