King Charles's coronation plans include Windsor concert

The same old same old...
Paul McCartney, obviously🙄

Definitely Tom Jones, Andrea Bocelli, Queen

I wouldn’t like to see Paul McCartney or Elton John as in my opinion their voices are past their best.

Charles's coronation will reflect his desire to be 'the people's King': Refugees, diversity and volunteering to take centre stage during historic three-day extravaganza.

Like I said on the other thread...anybody got a sick bag? 🤢

I'm one of the "people" and I don't want him.

Can't do right for doing wrong, can he?

Some people will enjoy the concert and I don't begrudge it to them. I doubt that it will excite me as I don't much enjoy such things. I might make the trip to London to see the processions (probably see more on the television, though!).

Can't do right for doing wrong, can he?

No, he can't. The only thing he could do that I would approve of is abdicate.

Well we know that you're not a monarchist, volver, you make that clear at every opportunity . I'm very anti-republic, so we can agree to disagree.

We can indeed agree to disagree.

I'm rather looking forward to it. If the late Queen's Jubilee celebrations are anything to go by, it should be good.

I stand to be corrected but I believe that most other 'modern' monarchies don't even have coronations. Royalist or republican aside, why do we need it?

I hope they have a throat singer.

They could hardly keep straight faces when they heard one.

I see your Noddy Holder,
and I raise you Ozzy Osbourne

Sheila Ferguson of the Three Degrees has been repeatedly referred to as Prince Charles’s favourite singer since she sang at his 30th birthday. Having said that I think it’s usually her that says it 😆 I’ve seen it mentioned many times over the years in interviews and magazine articles.

ELO

I think that they had a bit of a thing.
I’ve read Sheila say that the rumours surrounding her ruined her career (ie seen as a bit naff by association)

Rolling Stones would be great.

Chas and Dave.

Right said Fred.

I expect it'll include Sam Ryder. He seems to be the go to at present and was excellent on New Year's Eve.

galaxy, Chas has died so it would just be Dave

I'd put together a Commonwealth choir with a resprentative from each country.
For solo artists, Kylie 🇦🇺, Justin Bieber or Celine Dion 🇨🇦, Hayley Westenra 🇳🇿 (thought of Kiri Te Kanawa, but maybe not!) Grace 🇯🇲, Rhianna 🇧🇧, or have they left now? I can't keep up.
I'm sure London will put on a great show at the castle, even though Windsor is in Berks.

What input/influence do you think King Charles actually has?
So many of these concerts have become, IMO, cringefests by trying to be all things to all people - and ending up pleasing no-one.

I quite agree.
As I’ve said on another thread, it seems that Charles believes that he is entitled to the respect and good will that his mother had earned.

I’m annoyed (to put it lightly) that his tin ear will hasten the end of the monarchy.

Centuries of history could be squandered due to his arrogance.
This was the perfect opportunity for evolution.
But instead they are thumbing their noses to the lot of us.
This is only going to prove that they need to go
😡

I’d like to see a lot of British talent on show, both old and new.
It should be a good weekend, I’ll watch on tv as not keen on crowds.
