Well, I shall be watching it from start to finish.

It will brighten up my otherwise very dull life Grammareto.

I will most probably watch it just for the historical value whilst eating a selection of cheese and drinking wine. Actually i have a bottle of port I opened at christmas, does it keep? Someone bought it me as a gift and I had quite a good measure and it knocked me out grin

Found out yesterday the crowning bit's on Monday, not Saturday, so need to re-arrange long made plans that involve staunch royalists who'll be glued to giant telly watching it all. I can't be bothered with any of it, another waste of money.

I'm going to make myself a couch-nest, buy a big bar of chocolate and read a book!

Good excuse for our cul-de-sac to meet out the front and drink proseco and eat cake.

Same here but there will be tables laid out. Bunting up ( I have permission to close the close) music and dancing.

Don’t know yet, it’s a few weeks away, we don’t generally plan ahead unless it involves other people.

I am not bothering about it at all. Hate the expense but a lot of people enjoy this in their otherwise very dull lives so let's all be kind to them wink

I expect I will be working, but as it is a senior care home l expect it will be on the TV, not that I’ll have time to sit and watch it!!
The highlights on the evening News will suffice..

I've never watched a royal event in my life and I wont start now .If the weathers good I'll garden if its not I'll cook and restock my freezer after its spring clean .
I'm sure Charlie wont notice I'm absent

My d.I.l.’s mother is a die-hard royalist. She has invited a few of us to join her in the celebrations. I bet there’ll be bunting and biscuits …

At least one person wholeheartedly agrees. Well said.

I thought I'd start a new thread because I don't want to spoil the pleasure of the monarchists or let the thread turn into a slanging match.

What will you be doing on Coronation Day? Will you watch it for the historical value? Will you hide from every TV? Are you planning a day out?

Depending on the weather we may do some jobs in the garden and sit in the sun, go out to somewhere miles away from TVs and celebrations, or visit the empty shops. Tbh I'd sit in a dark room for the whole day if it was the only way to avoid the expensive farce.
