King Charles’ Coronation: Yay, Nay or Meh? 👑

I’ll start

Meh, with Nay tendencies

Meh with Nay tendencies here too.

Yeh

But then again I am a monarchist.

Meh with possible yay tendencies

As I said on the other thread I'm a hypocritical nay who is glad to have a day off work

But what is the question?? Whether we should have monarchs? Whether, if we do, they should be crowned? Whether coronations should be widely celebrated?

My guess is that you will have equal yays and nays for the first and very largely nays for the third. The second is a bit of a non question but that's what the OP asks.

Nay

Yay.

Meh too

It was just to ascertain people’s gut reaction to all things Charles / Coronation - not the finer points and nuances, we have many threads like that

Yay, yay, yay

So nay that I can't even believe I'm taking the time to post.

Lifelong republican so would normally avoid it like the plague and find a reason to be out of the country or at least quietly make my way somewhere very remote, as I have consistently done for royal weddings and funerals all my adult life. I haven't begrudged anybody else their enjoyment however.

Life is a strange thing and you never know what may turn up, so on this occasion I am reserving the right to return to this thread nearer the time.

Yay, with mehish tendencies.

I'm a mild monarchist, love ceremonial, and will watch on the actual coronation day but am not remotely interested in local street parties or coronation crafts for the old folk!

Yay. Huge royal families fan.

I’ll be visiting family abroad so will miss the whole thing which is fine by me.

Meh.
If it’s a nice day I’ll be out in the garden, and I’ll watch the highlights on the news later.

Ailidh

Thank you for saying it all for me. Just how I feel, too.

A big YAY.

Saying it for me too Ailidh.

Yay all the way. 🤴👸

My parents spent 2 years in Turkey in the late 70's. My Dad said the thing he missed most was what the Royal family were doing. 🙂

Meh from me. No street parties organised near me either.

It’s a Yay from me.

Looking forward to it.

I'm meh with yay tendencies.

I'm not a royalist but go along with the 'historic moment' vibe . Won't be glued to the TV for the duration just the interesting bits, as with the weddings and funerals.

My friend and I both live about 2 miles from the Palace & Westminster and we incorporate national events into our walks. So if there's anything major going on, Brexit, royal events, PM resignations etc we head on down to College Green, Downing Street, The Mall, etc on a recce beforehand.

For the Queen's funeral we went a few days before and there were people already camping out, grandstands being assembled and Portaloos being unloaded.

I enjoy it all!
