The Coronation of Charles 111

Wonderful voice.

Von der Leyen, chic.
Brigitte M less sure.

I'd rather know who these people arriving are. Foreign royalty?

I expected more hats.

That was fabulous. I loved her dress.

Crown Imperial.

I expected more hats.

Me too!

Vaughan Williams next - one if my favourite composers

I thought the soprano's dress was magnificent . She needed to stand out high up in the Abbey . Wonderful voice.

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.

I shall be watching at home as well Whitewave. I was three months old at the last coronation so I remember nothing. It’s raining today, home is the best place to be. I’m so sorry my mother died last August, she would have loved watching this today.

We’re doing our own family ‘big lunch’ tomorrow. One son is making a Union Jack trifle, the other a red, blue, and white cheeseboard. I’m making a Victoria sandwich this afternoon with royalty cake toppers. We’re doing the other food. I’ve bought a tiara to wear 😂 from Amazon.

Drum horses - fabulous - my most favourite.

Look at those wonderful uniforms

Lovely drum horse giving us a bit of dressage.

I’m another who wonders about loo breaks. Apparently the Abbey loos will be locked at 10.00. I think I’m glad I’m not a guest!

I would have liked to know who the guests were as they came in.

Love Vaughan Williams

The hymn they are playing now used to be my favourite when I attended church.

No morning cuppa andTena lady!
(I’m one of those people who can go for hours, but if I know there’s no way I can get to a loo - instant need! (TMI) )

Samantha Cameron looks stunning, I love her dress.

Theresa May looks lovely.

GrannyGravy13

Yes, she looks amazing

I really like Teresa May's coat.

Boris Johnson looks like a Spitting Image.

Throughly enjoying so far.

Mrs Sunak looks fabulous.

They all look fantastic. Perhaps we can give the BJ jibes a rest today, this isn’t about him. Carrie looked lovely as always. Have missed Sam Cam up to now, but she always looks lovely.

Yes May looks delightful. Not desperate about her hat, but love her coat.

I’m flicking through channels so missing some of the guests. On Sky again now.

I watched as Jill Biden arrived and thought it lovelynthat she had her granddaughter with her.

(I have planned to do absolutely nothing today other than watch the Coronation, tomorrow’s we have a street party at my sisters)

I haven’t seen TM but glad to hear she looks nice because she doesn’t always.
