Royal Pageant

[JenniferAlisonPhilipaSue]

Okay here is the thread for today's Jubilee pageant

Bloody Nile Rogers is everywhere

Nah ... BBC 2 have got a rehash called 'What A Weekend' lined up for this evening before they finally put the Union flags back in the airing cupboard.

Hoping Lulu won't be there.

Back to normal next week then ., back to rows about party gate and cost of living and if Keir might get a fine and the Ukraine war and all that :(
Back to reality
Loved Ed. That was nice

I am usually meh about Ed Sheeran but that was great. Few tears here too, sense of the end or almost the end of something.

Bloody Ed Sheeran and that montage broke me
What a life she has had

The Queen's Handbag would make a great band name!

Or the name of a racehorse!

You would have thought the BBC would have learned their lesson from the other night, Lulu was even worse than today!!

Ed Sheeran's performance was just lovely. So touching with the montage.

That was definitely the end of an era
it really feels like it, something that we will never experience again .

I'm going to say it again..,shut up Lulu!!

Ooh a best bits? Without Lulu. She’s really annoyed me today. There must have been many others who could have joined the commentators.
When those ‘which slebs are are arseholes’ threads come up I can chime in now.

She lived through a war and a pandemic too!

I think so yes. The Elizabethan era is drawing to an end 😔

I feel like the next event involving her won't be as joyous. And that makes me sad.

I've never not known her face on the money in my pocket, or the stamp on my envelopes all my life. It feels surreal that in the next 50 odd years hopefully left of my life I'll see two other monarchs on the balcony. It's a weird feeling.

Ed was perfect for me too
It's been a long four days but generally good

I just watched yesterday's concert, the light show was amazing

Dear me, I’ve cried all weekend. And I was so cynical about the whole thing, didn’t go to any events, nothing.

Just goes to show, she’s quietly stitched herself into the fabric of our lives.

I bet those royal children are having an early night tonight.

Nothing lasts forever but what a life she’s had. That’s the only way I look at it.

I do feel quite sad that it’s all over

It's been a blast, as ever the MN watchalong thread did not disappoint!

Thanks vipers!

A relief from bad news, misery and cynicism.

I meant eight of them not seven earlier , can't count !! Been a long weekend !!

Charles has looked on the verge of tears several times and as if he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

I thought this too. He's relatively recently lost his father and he's celebrating something that can only reinforce the age of his mother and he's taking her place because he takes over when she's dead. Then there are all these people showing their love for/appreciation for her which has to be nice but also pile on the pressure because how do you follow that?!

Honestly, total head fuck!

At least he's not worrying how to pay the leccy bill on top of it though. 😉

It’s been a good couple of days coming together on these threads even if I was moaning about it all yesterday. 😂 Thanks everyone 🍷

I don't think Prince Charles will be as popular as his mum ! He Might prove me wrong , but he'll have to win over a few hearts when he is King.
I don't envy him at all

It's been quite fun I think!

Well done Ed. Lovely man, lovely voice. 💕
