Coronation Watch-Along III

[Casuaala]

We're here, we're live and we're Unofficial!

Penny Mordant did have some sort of belt around her neck
she was pretty impressive though

Just flown over

(I’m in Norfolk)

Did anyone else see him take a little sigh and seem to smile and relax a bit when the three cheers ended out in the grounds 🤗

Omg can you imagine? Harry and Meg being crowned? Elton directing the choir and the USA flag being flown over Buckingham Palace 😆

History is constantly re-written as we find new evidence or re-evaluate previously known evidence in the light of new ideas and understanding.

And that does sometimes challenge the 'cosy' perspective that has been promoted on various issues. But that is because the 'cosy' perspective has been built on a limited selection of sources. The past is not so simple, and the way we understand it not so simple.

Wow, look at the crowds, even in the rain!

It's a ridiculous thing to get annoyed about. I'm Welsh (I live in England now), I speak a small amount of Welsh, and if I were to ever need to refer to it, I'd say bannau brycheiniog but really, English speakers using the English name is fine, isn't it. Especially when, let's be honest, the pronunciation of Welsh isn't the easiest for English speakers. And the national park website still says breconbeacons.org.

I cannot see Harry and Meghan wanting to be King Henry and Queen Meghan. Besides, that wouldn't go down with the rest of the royal family or the public but Andrew would definitely not be accepted as our King. Could you imagine?

Think Kirsty Young should have her colours done, I don't think that green does her any favours though I like the dress.

Im reading Black and British at the moment, v interesting.

It does look like a great turnout!

He has a condition called dactylitis.

Well, this escalated. Still bloody love him though.

Are they doing the fly past? There was speculation earlier about it being a washout. But it must have taken off by now?

See posts above re the Eiffel Tower vs Le Tour Eiffel, España vs Spain etc ad infinitum. I’m not sure why the Welsh would care what non Welsh speakers call Welsh locations when they are speaking their own language in their own country. It’s a pretty common thing to do across the world, do you police other countries too? Sorry it makes you so mad, sounds exhausting.

Oh, they've just said, a shortened fly past due to low cloud!

They’ve just said they are but shorter fly past

Red Arrows and helicopters only

Just modern aircraft so red arrows and helicopters

I'd never go myself , but kudos to those who camped out or got up early to go along
They are Hardy souls

Great!

In close ups Kate’s eyes look very puffy. Is she ok?

Shame, but at least something.

There seem to be a lot of tourists if interviews on itv are anything to go by.

Yes, the discomfort!

I mean, a night's camping in good weather in a nice rural spot is just about manageable, but on a pavement in the rain - no!

On one of these threads someone said she was allergic to horse hair, so it's probably not a great day for her allergy wise!!!
