Anne looked positively jolly amongst all the troops on the back lawn! I think she relishes the military aspects of her role.

Yeah, she much prefers her role.

I love Anne! So pleased she is on a horse.

Whilst his loyal subjects sit in their PJs snacking and tweeting

Anyone else wish it was Princess Anne getting crowned?

Definitely not. Out of the 4 of them, thank fuck Charles was oldest.

Aren't we supposed to be swearing our allegiance at some point?

MustardGreenAndPlum · 06/05/2023 13:52

Do you think they get a Coromoon holiday after all this? Especially at their age. I’d need 3 weeks to recover.

AutumnCrow · 06/05/2023 13:52

I've watched it on ITV.

BBC pissed me right off earlier with Huw Edwards talking over the music.

Our household went off on a tangent on security but now we are having a discussion on what would happen if the carriage with William, Kate and the kids was blown up. I'm guessing Harry and Meghan wouldn't want to take that job neither would the public. Where would the crown go next? Ann and her oldest child? End of the monarchy? I'm enjoying watching it but it feels nuts to do all of this for one person.

If Harry refused it then it's, er, Andrew! That's why they sing God Save the King with such feeling!

Bouledeneige · 06/05/2023 13:53

That was spine tingling.

PermanentTemporary · 06/05/2023 13:53

Good Lord! Thats some cheer

There was a bit in the Abbey where you could if you wanted to

That was much earlier! when the Archbishop was speaking he invited everyone to do it

I wish they had stopped for a few seconds by the Cenotaph.

I think once they get going its difficult to halt everyone like that. The carriages loose momentum

We are not in the army......
Is this a thing?

Charles looks a bit unwell, no?

Must've been in the loo. Maybe I'll make it for the next coronation

Love that they do the three cheers!

polkadotdalmation · 06/05/2023 13:54

They all look a lot happier now.
