Having waited ove 70 years to watch this, I did watch it all .Apart from one or two hiccups, a well p[lanned and executed event 70 years in the making and in my mind well worth the time spent.
To those who rubbish the celebration, the pagentry, the general feeling of happiness, I say look to your own countries, and stop trashing a country , just becasue you can.
Makes you all look petty and childish and certainly does no endear some to those who actually like being British .
I have seen so-called pagentry in other countries , from chewing gum officinardos to generally sloppy drills, I do think the British do put on a fine display ( I ay be slightly bias ). Challenge any oher countrry to put o a similar display with the same precision , not including those countries where military parades are the norm to show Power over the People
Agree KP

With regard to awesome pageantry at state funerals , royal weddings and coronations there are IMO only two nations that can top the bill ... Britain and Thailand , no bias at all my opinion is based on fact and experiences in both countries.

DM
Agee the difference being is hat in he UK the public are encouraged o turn up watch record and generally applaud, while in Thailand they are kept so far away and prostrate that only news cameras capture the event , public participation assumed ! So both are well done but only one is truly appreciated by the public.

The only reason H came to the corro was to keep him and Markle and their brand semi relevant , he cut a lonesome figure mooching in the ceremony was sat behind Princess Anne and her large hat and was totally ignored by all except for Beatrice and her hubby, without the chance of that balcony appearance thus deciding to depart very swiftly even before the 3 cheers by the armed forces H was "" leaving on a jet plane"" citing Archies birthday as the perfect excuse....only the media noticed he was there ..oh and not wishing to miss out on a few dollars Dior who sponsored his attire.
Bridges well n truly burnt hopefully HnM will drift off into oblivion ...until the next book or chat show interview that is.
H chose the Hollywood life style over service but a lot depends how long it is before Meggy gets rid of ginger in her quest to be more relevant than Kate.

How true is that sign in the pic statts .. the jury is still out if theres a bit of Hewwit blood in there as DI did like a bit of man sausage so it seems. :shock:

Would be fitting if William is the last monarch in say 2066

Started with William 1066 so after 1000 yrs its pretty much run its race
Yes, the Great Norman individual, William the Conqueror from Normandy. But, was he the first? What about Æthelstan, surely he deserves a mention?

Charles Windsor has been crowned. Could we please have no more royalist propaganda?

Let Frankie Boyle have the last word.

100 million pound to celebrate a 74 year getting his first job as the boss, after living with his mother all these years.

Charlie is nothing special, he has a very ordinary intellect and he got the job without a competitive selection process.

Too silly for words.

I wonder how many Black, ethnic minority or disabled people they were forced to interview before making the appointment? Surely not one rule for us .............
