It's Coronation Day! - Watch Along

Hannah_Alumni

Good morning!

Today is the Coronation of King Charles III and I've created this thread for everyone who is watching to comment along. If you are not a huge fan of the event, I have another thread called; Not watching the Coronation? What are your plans?

Please remember the house rules today, be civil, safe and supportive. We all have our different opinions which is why I created both threads. 

If you are following this thread today, you can watch the Coronation on BBC iPlayer or ITV X.

Good morning @Hannah_Scope I am watching on TV and going to a Street party this afternoon. I just wonder how people manage to sit or stand for hours without needing a toilet. I would not be able to.

Good morning @Beaver79

That sounds lovely! Are there many joining in? 

I always wonder the same! I couldn't do it!

Seeing the Guard of Honour is amazing. I always forget how many regiments of service there are!

@Sandy_123 I was talking with a friend, and we commented on how far technology has come, for so many to now be able to see this. 

Sandy_123

I did think how lucky we are to be able to watch it. 
I too couldn't camp out on the mall or stand in the crowds

Oh the little choir boy My heart! 

Sandy_123

Doesn't george look so grown up

Hannah_Alumni

Yes, they all do, can't get over how tall Louis is!

Its a beautiful church  I've been in there, the architecture, most of the old Kings and Queens tombs are there too, that you can walk around. Light candles for loved ones.

I'd love to visit, putting it on the list The choir are amazing!

Sandy_123

I recommend it there is wheelchair access too.

We now have a (crowned) King and Queen! There are little things that I've noticed, like when they drank from the chalice, they wiped the edge. Makes you think if that would have happened pre-covid.

I would of hoped so for hygiene reasons. They did well with all the eyes on them, I would personally hate that attention, I would end up falling over my dress or something silly

When I saw so many of them and guests wearing white and cream, with the weather the way it is, would be a recipe for disaster for me!

Weather is awful, but expected.
