I say that as a non believer.

Anyone else glad the coronation is done and dusted?

Get over it

DancingWithTheMoonlitKnight · 06/05/2023 18:36

Yes, just have to avoid all the King stuff on the TV for the next few days now.

Yes it is easy to avoid if you wish too.

Swansandcustard · 06/05/2023 18:38

Managed to avoid all but 2 minutes of it. Social media full of cap doffing tho 😑

AuntieMarys · 06/05/2023 18:38

I totally avoided it

roarfeckingroarr · 06/05/2023 18:39

Yawn

WWGDD · 06/05/2023 18:42

It was quite easy to avoid. We watched a little bit then did something else.

All over bar the people whinging about it and saying how glad they are that it's over 😂😂

MissingMoominMamma · 06/05/2023 18:44

I worked, then walked the dogs.

No TV, no special food or drink, no pledging.

It was pretty easy to avoid.

newwings · 06/05/2023 18:44

I loved it.

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/05/2023 18:45

I'm just avoiding FB. WHo knew so many of my friends and family are happy to be peasant serfs?

Lockheart · 06/05/2023 18:46

Why would I need to be glad it's over? It has impacted my day in no way at all.

I loved it.

Me too. Watched it from beginning to end and really enjoyed it.

BettyfromBristol · 06/05/2023 18:47

AuntieMarys I did my best and haven't seen any coverage. Just looking forward to the shops etc getting back to normal. I've even had emails from companies trying to sell me unrelated stuff such as "bathroom tiles fit for a king" 🤮

Plenty of peasant cap doffers on MN too.

True - I should say "has impacted my day in no way at all other than all the fecking whinging about it on MN".

BettyfromBristol · 06/05/2023 18:51

There was a rumour that one of the barbers in town was advertising a "get your forelock trimmed ready for the king" last week but I cannot verify that. They have form for a joke so it might be true.

BettyfromBristol I've* *had loads of marketing email with tenuous references to the coronation too, that has been annoying.

Now that is funny 🤣

PennyAndThatSword · 06/05/2023 19:03

well you’re helping to keep the conversation going about it

Blinky21 · 06/05/2023 19:03

Yes, with the jubilee, funeral and coronation, I was thinking earlier how good it is we won't have to suffer this again for a while hopefully

SammyScrounge · 06/05/2023 19:04

It was spectacular and I loved every moment.
especially all the King's horses and all the King's men...

It was moving when Prince William paid
homage then bent to kiss his father.

It was grand to see all the ladies in their finery, especially the Princess of Wales who outdid them all.

Both.Charlotte and George looked very grown up.

Princess Ann riding in procession.

The good humour of the.crowds was catching.

I loved it and I’m sad it’s over BUT I have plenty of friends that feel like you and that’s the beauty of Britain. For my work I’ve lived in countries where expressing your opinion could be deadly, so I welcome your opinion. It’s not for everyone the Monarchy and very much you’re right to say so 👍
