Sickening how the media always flip their tone right before it as well, just for the bevvies and then flip it back to criticism after

He can do one and anyone swearing allegiance to him can do one as well

I'm not a monarchist nevertheless, I'm not Anti either. There's a place for Monarchy in the UK. I believe it's something other countries would cherish and celebrate if accorded a similar constitution.

I understand money is spent on the Coronation. I think the Coronation also brings in huge amounts of money for private individuals and companies. What I'm surprised is there is no fee charged for the media rights unlike watching young men running around on a pitch week-in, week-out.

Just put one's political persuasion or personal views aside and just (for today) let history takes its course. You may watch or either not watch - that's your prerogative.

We're all watching History , like we did The Queens funeral, in a thousand years time, people will wonder what it was like to live in that era and experience it.
We should be grateful we are watching A great part of our history

I never saw you as a fascist SS  or a man to through out nasty insulting remarks like that. Each to their own.  Look at it this way - our road is closed and we are all getting together as a friendly community and having a blast. Why not put your rage to one side and enjoy the food and drink and the community spirit.
Stop oil couldn't close it but we have!!!!    ALL DAY AND EVENING  ha ha!!!

ps  I am not a monarchist. But up for a party with lots of nice neighbours - we should do more of it.

people abroad 'love the BBC' because they don't have to pay for it, people abroad 'love the Royal Family' because they don't have one and are fascinated by the pomp and ceremony, that's all it is, they wouldn't actually want one foisted upon them, that's why most countries do not have Royal Families, that said most people in the UK have no real strong opinion either way, all they care about is a day off work on Monday and a good ol' piss up, nothing to get worked up about, Kings and Queens in 2023 is painfully outdated but at the same time it's no skin off my nose so I don't really care either way, Kind Regards.

Something very poetic about a king in a golden coach being driven over a load of potholes filled with wet sand because no one in his country has the money to fix the roads properly

No 12.45 kick offs today Sad

not sure why royalism is evil.....that coont in the robin hood films was not too clever but within my lifetime there has been nothing so negative it could be construed as evil......i know this.....if the monarchy is abolished not many of the great unwashed will see any of the money they have........

I'm 100% with Dragon on this one. Completely outdated and unnecessary. If he wanted this farce he should have paid for it himself out of the UNTAXED money he inherited from his 'dear mamma'......

There won't be any money.  They'll have to pay more in taxes though.  The Coronation will bring in £1bn+ in tourism.

What a fantastic spectacle yesterday was for the second time in the last 12 months my country has done me proud,what I noticed more than anything yesterday was all those people who had made the effort to stand in the rain to see the coronation were just happy and smiling.

Now what’s wrong with that ?
