Well I thought I would start this thread for those who are going to sit back and enjoy the day.

At the beginning of my life -I was 6 years old, I was at Hyde Park Corner under a policeman’s cap, in the pouring rain, now at 77 I am at home in front of the television.

I shall enjoy every minute of it. Just watching the guests arriving.

Kate looks magnificent.

Wow! doesn't even begin to get there. No-one does pomp and ceremony like we do. So very moving... and I'm a Republican by persuasion! Just think of the many millions watching this worldwide.

Dr David Starkey is doing a superb job on GB News Channel. He is such an expert historian and there is little he doesn’t know.

He just admitted that he has absolutely no idea why William and Kate have arrived after the King and Queen. He said it is most strange.

Me too Shinamae. I think it’s the pageantry and the history.

I was pleased to see Louis there, all dressed up in uniform. I think he’ll have been well tutored in what is expected and behaviour.

I am not particularly a royalist and have no idea why I’m getting so emotional…😢

I saw the Princess of Wales giving Prince Louis a Mum look as they entered the Abbey 🤣

Camilla looks overawed and close to tears. It must be overwhelming.

CNN coverage is good, less sycophantic than BBC. Prince George holding KC train at the rear there ...

Look at Kate’s face! I wonder what she’s thinking?
Her mum must be sooo proud

What a moment for all the young grandsons.

Anne is channelling her inner pirate.

saw Harry go in with eugenie and her husband and now sitting with them behind princess ann who's plume on her hat obscures his face at times!

And we are off!

FannyCornforth Sat 06-May-23 10:52:02

Good heavens, Sophie looks anxious

Where are William and Kate?

Whitewavemark2 Sat 06-May-23 10:48:55

I’d like a close look at the material of Camila’s frock.

I wonder what Camilla is holding on her lap?

A Jack Russell? 🐶

For all glued to your tv sets, don’t forget to move around and keep the blood circulating….. it’s a long time to sit.

Rosie has that in hand for me-spotting squirrels in the garden means rushing to the kitchen door to be let out.
Twice in the last hour so far - I’ll have my 10,000 steps done even without the usual walkies at this rate
