The Coronation of Charles 111

Totally agree about Penny Mourdant, definitely going to be the stand out person of the coronation after the King & Queen, the children are starting to get fed up you can see the faces are starting to move around😂 has Prince Louis been whisked away he isn't by his parents any more.

Louis has gone! Myster

she shouldn't be smiling when crowned It is about 'the office' not the person.

a solemn occasion.

Why not smile- it is also a joyous occasion -
“be joyful not the Lord all ye nations”

Amid all the ceremonial, just reflecting upon what a lengthy ordeal all this must be for a 74 year-old Charles. Yes, he appears to be healthy for his years, but it still must be a challenge, both physically and of course emotionally
An age when most of us are exhausted by a days granny duty!
I am in awe of their stamina- also physical strength not to mention balance .

Very impressed with the way Penny Mordaunt is carrying out her role. I think her dress and headband are spot on - just a touch of uniform about them. She must have been holding that sword for about three quarters of an hour,I’m sure it was a strain in her arms.

Just what we said! She so looks the part and is doing her job perfectly.

We think so too.

I think Camilla has relaxed a bit now.

The Archbishop of Canterbury’s grandma lived in a lovely big house in the middle of our village. As a child, I was invited to go and play with him and his sister to give their grandma a bit of free time. They came to stay with her a lot during school holidays. There was a big sweeping staircase that we slid down, lots of black lacquerwork furniture and a huge garden. It has all come back to me this morning.

Watching it now feel very emotional.

Camilla is enjoying it I think

I’ve got a bracelet like Camilla’s!

Thinking Charles looks absolutely exhausted. Hope he gets through it all today.

I guess he has to be 100% focused throughout.

Amid all the ceremonial, just reflecting upon what a lengthy ordeal all this must be for a 74 year-old Charles. Yes, he appears to be healthy for his years, but it still must be a challenge, both physically and of course emotionally. He'll be drained by this evening. Then of course, both he and Camilla will have to attend the Coronation concert from 8 p.m. this evening, when I'll bet that all they'll want to do is to put their feet up. Tough job.

The Coronation Concert is tomorrow evening at Windsor.

Loved Zadok the Priest.

That is quite an ordeal I think.

She may not have got Party Leader, but she got the best job - both when Queen Elizabeth died and at Charles’s proclamation etc and now.

She must have been practicing and working out to do it. She has been incredible

Look at that robe! Blimey

Love Zadok! Can still sing it by heart.

The most moving thing for me so far has been the Greek chant, in honour of Prince Philip.

Willing to bet that numerous people who swore they weren’t remotely interested and would be in the garden or walking the dog are somehow just happening to be watching .

And now ‘Zadok the Priest’.

Bliss!

Well if they aren't, they're missing out on an amazing spectacle. History in the making, and you most definitely don't need to be a Royalist to appreciate it. I'm not, and am frankly surprised that I'm finding it all so moving.
