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

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.
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.
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
