This is on BBC1 tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, for those of us interested in ceremony, pageantry, liars and broken promises. Needless to say, Huw Edwards is not presenting the programme; Nicky Campbell has the gig.

Be sure to book early.

Admittedly I'm not interested in the speech. It's all the ancient traditions and ceremonies that I like to see. Black Rod must need a very stern constitution to deal with such vehement rejection!

It's started. Love the horses. Very noble and stately.

Thanks for this. Have just started watching. Nicky Campbell doing very well but is quite nervous (understandably).

Wouldn’t normally be interested but watching.

Rishi and Keir chatting happily!

@mrsjoyfulprizeforraffiawork I thought that too but he made a good job of it. Huw Edwards was the man for these jobs for quite a few years so would be a difficult act to follow.

Makes me sick. Poverty levels are rediculously high and then you see the amount of money involved in stuff like this.

Couldn't agree more. Children going hungry in one of the richest countries in the world and he shuffles around in his little cape and crown worth Christ knows how much.
