King Charles....The Coronation.

Walofb

He doesn’t want to be there ffs

Pishin maself ffs.

Behave 'acey'! Do you have a King in your country?

Alex Salmond

Blackford tried to replace him - But was blustered out of it ... by himself.

They did have a Queen, though .............. until recently.

Wonderful state occasion Acey, you should embrace it won't be long before the younger generation abolish the monarchy and then you'll be left with the likes of Thatcher, Blair, Trump or Biden as the head of state, would you really want that?
It will be the first coronation i've been alive for and probably the last, i won't see much of it as have to go out most of day but will see highlights later i expect.

Sorry but watching RPGTV.

Naw no for me stew sorry.

'sparrow', that's good too. Aletrnative viewing is always encouraged to facilitate education and inclusion. What's winning, favs?

Saw it in 1953 so not bothering today.

I am all for the Royal Family - stewarts  - But ...

This all just a load of Over-Religious Propoganda

Archbishop WELBY thinks it is HIS day - Not King Charles's. 

Such a shame his mum is gone. I'd have liked to see a hand-over. I hope King Charles will do the honourable thing when his turn comes.

"May the King live FOREVER" -

On a par with the impossible - 'Virgin Birth' - that one.

Stop taking the mickey! Coronation is a solemn occasion. History cannot be changed.

Will they all let his hossy Saga win today in the 3:25?

A) Yay

B) Neigh

It's a Democracy, not a banana republic.

So you are saying that they got it Spot On - the First-time around, then...

They do not still Chop people's heads off in the Tower of London - including the King's wife (one of them) - do they?

Take note my royal subjects...

SAGA - 3.25 Newmarket... for King & country !

Agree Onlooker, this religious claptrap is not for me either, but as in all probability this country will be a muslim state in the future, we should do our best to enjoy these state occasions whilst we can.

Think he should abdicate around 80...would leave more time then to study his horses for a touch .

i am watching just for the pure ridiculousness.

I cannot take any more of this Archbishop WELBY wallah.

When is somebody going to give him a tap on the shoulder, and say ... That's enough, pal.

I rather watch this than Chamberlin eulogising "come racing, horse syndication and promoting sly bets'

A televisual feast

I enjoy the interior and architecture of Westminster Cathedral. And, bits of the ceremony; music not my taste either. How come no Jerusalem or God Save the King?

One More Wave 230gw

Nurses struggling.Teachers leaving left right and centre people queuing at food banks and all this is funded by public funds.The Monarchy have Billions in the Bank and we pay for them,if one of us claimed public funds and had assets and a well paid job we would be prosecuted.Millions of pounds gone in a few days,then the Government will say we cannot afford to pay for wage rises.

I expect the girls like this sort of thing though.

Hope they make sure that Andrew doesn't follow any of the choir girls home

Not watching. Anyone see what row Harry was in?

Harsh !!

Or Edward the choir boys!

'How come no Jerusalem'

Now you are talking ...

Last Night of the Proms  - A proper British jolly-up

Harry looked forlorn at the entrance. It's good he turned up to show respect for his dad, and his grandmother who symbolised the Mornanchy and Commonwealth.

But - The false Yank TV actress - Devalued all that.

What was he thinking?

Wonder what grub they'll be having at the "do" afterwards back at the palace?
Definitely mini sausage rolls and cheese and pineapple on sticks, imo

Have flicked over now to have a look. All very impressive I must admit. Must cost a solid fortune though.

Next one will be even more pompous possibly modern too. I cannot believe how well-behaved the children of Prince and Princess of Wales. They looked very smart too.

monarch

Cannot believe that you have - "flicked over now to have a look" ... given your Forum Name ...

- Or - Did you Name yourself after that failed Airline?

Where's Edred Whittingham to liven things up?

Did anyone not noticed the line of bikers from deliveroo, just eat, ect queueing at the back entrance to Buckingham Palace? I thin the King and Queen will have a stiff drink after going to the men's and ladies' prior.

Onlooker - My forum name (and nickname) is because my first name is the same as the King who had six wives, as well as his many forerunners. Us Irish are not very inventive when it comes to monikers...

I hope that you have not chopped any wives heads off, then - Henry.

Seeing a n1g too close to the king, with a sword being brandished, I feared the worst.....

Can't see much at Goodwood and would be a right laugh if visibility was as bad for the Coronation.

Onlooker - I have nearly been driven to it on occasions. Right, enough of this pomp and ceremony. Winners and losers to be found.

Fawning Female Commentator on Television ...

- "and there in the next carriage are the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh along with their daughter Loise -
She is studying at St Andrew's University, and will be particularly appreciative of the horses due to her interest in Carriage-Driving"

So 1950s BBC

At least in this day and age we do not have the whole street gathered around a couple of TVs in a few of our wealthier neighbours houses.

Richard Dimbleby was sorely missed.

Rationing isn't missed though

looked cheap ££ as chips

just kidding

Very true. Most modern types weren't expecting that. A High Church Anglican service, so similar in format and tone to a Catholic Mass.

How ironic..
