Me to, I love Calon Lan

Yes, it always creates butterflies!

I think I'd be quaking in my boots if I were Harry coming face to face with Camilla now after what I'd said about her. 👜 😤

No. His impressive sense of self justification. will stop him worrying about that.
I’m hoping the media give him a rest, rather than more fodder for his next book.

I’ve just looked at the DM on line mollygo. As ever, rather than ignore Harry, there is endless speculation about where he’ll sit, rows behind everyone else they say, whether he’ll be refused permission to wear uniform, how nobody in the family likes him etc etc. what’s the point of him coming they moan. Then, they have a royal author/commentator advising the king to cut all ties with Meghan Markle.
Columns of nasty unnecessary bile and on such an important day for the king and the country. Yuk

I agree Iam64. Why can't people have a sense of occasion just for one day. (My handbag comment last night was a little joke, btw).
Anyway, Harry is pretty insignificant now.

This comment by Lexisgranny on another thread sums it all up ............
I do hope that everything today goes without a hitch, that grievances are put aside for this one day, so that we can all enjoy the spectacle without ill feeling, I hope that the King and Queen have a memorable day.

I will just enjoy all the pageantry, it will be spectacular and probably just once in a lifetime for me. I have no particular feelings for the monarchy except I could imagine it would be hard to choose a decent President here, there are a lot of self serving twits around.

It seems to me that possibly the greatest of the 'self-serving' are the royals themselves.

Yes.

I love the pomp and ceremony and music and horses. It just makes me feel connected to our history which, imo is amazing. The history of our country is pretty much the history of its royal families. I do wish I could stop wondering how people manage to go so long without needing the loo, though.

Yes.

Another yes.

Harry walked in with his cousins, Anne had a friendly word with him when she sat down.

I'm not a Royalist (nor a republican really), but it would happen whether I watched it or not, so I'm enjoying the choral music and the general campness of the occasion. Doesn't Camilla look lovely?

Mr Dog has gone for a walk in protest . I've pointed out that nobody will either know or care, but if it makes him feel better, what's the harm? It'll save me from listening to him moaning about it all, at least.

Of course. Why can people not see that?
There's no point in having a sense of occasion for something that you don't agree with, especially when it is wrong.

No, Nadertube, you believe it is wrong.

Doesn't Camilla look lovely?
Yes, she does.
Someone criticised her for smiling but it was probably a smile of relief!

No no Easybee it is wrong. Not democratic.

You can have views on which works better. But some things are just wrong.

In your opinion.

In your opinion. You don't believe in it, therefore it is wrong.

Which is rather like saying, I believe in freedom of speech, but there are limits.

Putin was elected in a democratic election.
Just saying.

We have a Constitutional democracy in this country.

You can't have an opinion on a fact.
Stealing is wrong. Fact. Having an undemocratic system is wrong. fact.

Do you not understand the words ‘constitutional democracy’?

In some democracies, comments like we can put on GN, could result in arrest or worse.

People were arrested in London this morning for preparing to protest about the coronation.

Some people were arrested in UK today for their views Mollygo.

I'm not stupid GSM. But our HoS is an inherited position. Not democratic.

I think we all know its wrong. Some people just prefer it and quote bad examples of republics to justify it. 🙄.

Yes, very British, not.

I know, and I’m still waiting to find out why. Perhaps you can help.
