The Coronation of Charles 111

I agree. Gorgeous dress. Am still thinking about what a great job Penny Mordaunt did as well as how perfect she looked.

Totally agree about Penny Mordaunt, she looked elegant and so competent and composed.

I thought India Hicks dress was gorgeous, so elegant in an understated way.

Lovely material.

Well, this non-tv watcher has sat in front of the tv for 4 hours, with only occasional distractions and wanders round. This is probably a lifetime record.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it moving and just the right length.

We had coronation chicken for lunch. I am sorry, but that quiche just sounded dull and I am not much of a quiche person anyway.

DD and my DDIl's sister have been up in St James and are now positioning themselves for a view of The Balcony.

We have coronation chicken planned for Monday. Just finished quiche Jerseys and salad with a large glass of red.

Did anybody else experience frequent interrupted sound quality on BBC during the service? Switched over to ITV in the end.

Suspect it’s the Russian government again - I’ve noticed that whenever PBS broadcast anti-putin programmes the sound crackles every few mins.

Have enjoyed every minute of it and reading everyone's posts on this great thread so a 'thank you' from me too Whitewavemark.

Oh this is superb! In the gardens.

Princess Anne never stops talking! Bit like us on GN😄

I can’t help my belief that it ‘should have been Anne’.
(And don’t get me started on Charlotte…)

Yes a thank you to WW a nice thread, for a memorable day, which has clearly given so many an uplift even if the weather is horrible. I had a conversation with my son about his assertion "none of this changes people's lives" to which my response was "neither does supporting your football team and being overjoyed when they win that won't change your life but it's the feel good factor" not a bad thing imo.

Some good manoeuvres by the marchers😄😄

Off to Buckingham palace gardens

Wonder if we’ll see it? Be a bit muddy!

Yes, I saw a couple of ‘step, ball, changes’ going on!
I tried to demonstrate it to DH but it’s not easy at the moment 🤦‍♀️

Thanks Poppyred. Good he’s there.

I think I’m a born again monarchist too Fanny.

And thank you Whitewave for the thread, it’s been lovely having everyone’s company.

Robert Hardman describes it as timeless.
A good word.

Continuing the thread of history.

Glad everyone’s enjoyed it - not over yet

My (met police) grandson is on duty in the Mall. What a day to remember.

Brilliant 👏

Thank you from me as well, Whitewave

I expect the other royal children, the Zara’s and Peter’s will be involved afterwards in the celebrations. Having said that, I haven’t noticed Peter, Princess Anne’s son. Is he there?

Yes, I saw him walking into the Abbey.

Now quick heating up of the quiche and jerseys with salad😄

Thank you Whitewave. I enjoyed having company

Three cheers for all the horses! Did the Irish wolfhound take part as I haven’t noticed

And as 🦊 y said, it’s been lovely company on here.
Thanks WW and all x

I’m watching BBC1 and the presenter just said all the children are old enough to remember this, even Louis. I just thought, what a shame that Archie isn’t here, he would have remembered it. Obviously not Lily, but Archie would. It’s a total shame.

Oh they’ve got the biggest royal standard flying. I remember seeing it on a visit to the palace with the grandchildren and it is huge!
