Anyone Volunteering for the 3 day Royal Coronation Event

And that is exactly what Charles and the Palace doing, encouraging volunteering to try to help communities to come together.

Sorry, DH was asking me something at the same time!

Charles and Camilla can do one! I find the money spent on this horrific in this time especially.

They are not my King and Consort. I don't bow to anyone. These 2 certainly not.

The celebrations and the funeral for the Queen is one thing.

No to this. 25 years ago these 2 nearly bought the monarchy to its knees. It survived because of the boys.

I like all I know had got used to Camilla around. All this pomp and money no, just no.

I shan't be watching, I will be doing what alot of this country do and my volunteering.

Many will be working because they don't have an option with the cost of living.

I've spoken to no one who will watch it..

Millions will watch it Keffie12
Including me😄 it’s a moment in history after all and I’ve never seen a coronation. Have eaten loads of coronation chicken tho.

It will certainly attract tourists, especially Americans and Japanese. My granny witnessed four coronations . Edward V11th, George Vth, George V1th and the late Queen. This will be my second! I'm really looking forward to it, and yes I remember coronation chicken, still got my mothers receipt!

🤔 Do one what, please?

It's just another term for "go away" Callistermon

Not spent any time in the south?

Oh, no, I didn't know.
Not heard in the Midlands!

Just looked it up and it's not as rude as the Urban Dictionary version.

Nobody has to bow or curtsey to anyone these days, even the late Queen didn't expect bowing and curtseying, and for certain the new king doesn't. The monarchy only survived because of Diana's boys??!! I don't think so!

I looked it up and apparently it's from Manchester area originally but I have heard it in London..

Well OK, mostly Eastenders when I sued to watch it

"You can do one mate"

I'm south London not east though

Are King Charles and co 'volunteering'? That would be a plus.

Brother works in USA, asked us to come round for a party he's hosting for his office, celebrating all things "Coronation". Odd day and time zone for a watch party - flags, bunting, funny hats, coronation chicken sandwiches.

Can’t wait for our coronation street party. We had a great time for the jubilee. We will start organising shortly.

I looked it up
So did I - the Urban Dictionary meaning was rude!

Well, I will try!

I don't think its the best way to get communities coming together if thats what they say the intended outcome is. No one locally seemed the slightest bit interested at the jubilee. Lots volunteer in helping work and so on already.

I already do some volunteering, although not as much as my husband.

However I won't be doing anything for the Coronation. Such a corrupt bunch of wasters, I have no time for any of them. We intend to be away somewhere remote that weekend, avoiding the whole thing.

Yes very odd They just make up rules to suit themselves
They really have no idea how the rest of us function
They live in a different world !!!

Our local community welcomes any chance for a party and will probably have a party, but I'm not sure that any of us would actually want to celebrate Charles becoming king, we don'tconsider he's done anything that merits this.

It may or may not be expected, but it is certainly encouraged. The king could easily tell his family not to do it but he hasn't.

Such a skewed idea of King Charles is very unfortunate.
He was born to it. He probably would not have chosen this way of life. Who would? He isn't perfect. Are we?
Come on, give him a break. Or, just enjoy the party even if you don't like the host.
I, along with millions, will watch and love this historic national event.

No, I don't give him a break. Not as King.

If he wants to be a wealthy landowner, good luck to him. As long as he obeys the law, nothing to argue with.

But no, he doesn't get a break as Head of State.

Bit of a high risk strategy actually for King Charles.

Far better to make it onto something like a "Rich people give away a chunk of your income for charities like we are going to do to celebrate the Coronation"

Now define ‘rich’.

I was fond of the Queen and enjoyed the Jubilee but I can't muster much enthusiasm for another royal event.
