Have to say the towns in the North are all flags and bunting. Quite surprised. More flags here than at home . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobstheboy Posted May 5, 2023 #45427 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Will be watching Coronation tomorrow on TV. A loyal Monarchist having served in RN and Police for a combined 34 years and proud I did. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted May 5, 2023 #45428 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I am planing to watch the the coronation tomorrow, I was 3 months old for the last one so this will be the first one that I have seen and could also be the last. My mum did tell me that when the it was the Queen's coronation we were in my grandad's crowded house because he was the only person in his street who had a tv. I remember that tv as a young child it had a very small screen with a magnifier in front of it and a terrible picture but we loved to go to granddad's to watch the tv. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted May 6, 2023 #45432 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Another early morning thanks to the birds who think that 4am is a good time to start singing. 6am and the housework is done and the breadmaker is on so that we can have sandwiches at lunchtime while we watch the coronation coverage on the tv. Have a good day whatever you decide to do today. Edited May 6, 2023 by Josy1953 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no knitted toppings in the village, difficult to do as the vast majority are either in a wall or “boxes on sticks” we have only one traditional type of freestanding postboxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted May 6, 2023 #45434 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Our pre-cruise diet goes to pot this weekend with a coronation family tea today. Pork pie, sausage rolls, quiche, scotch eggs, coronation chicken sandwiches and salmon cucumber sandwiches and clotted cream and jam scones. Bottles of champagne as well😊 Edited May 6, 2023 by Splice the mainbrace 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted May 6, 2023 #45435 Share Posted May 6, 2023 No special food or drink here, although my OH may have an Earl Grey tea instead of the normal Tesco Finest Breakfast Tea. We also have an Amazon delivery at some point today, my new greenhouse auto vent, one of the others finally gave up after 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel57 Posted May 6, 2023 #45436 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I’ve just had my “coronation” breakfast of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, so i am now set up for sitting on my backside, in front of the tv, for the next six hours 🤣🤣 👑🇬🇧 I didn’t forget Freddie (no morning walks as far too wet) and he had a plain scrambled egg much to his delight. 🐶 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I was surprised at how much the late queen's death affected me. Just watching the ceremonies and thinking about the history behind it was something else. Strangely I am not too bothered about tomorrow .. I wish the new monarch well but other than that I am not particularly that interested. Not out of disrespect.. just not interesting me for some reason. Will probably dip in to watch and then go for a walk by the sea ! I am also in the not bothered camp. Looking at the telly schedules, it's difficult to avoid. I'm sure something will turn up. I still have free practice 2 from Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted May 6, 2023 #45442 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Morning all, I’m sat in front of the TV watching all the people arrive at the Abbey. Enjoy the weekend, whatever you do, I’m all alone as John’s at work. He’s not too bothered but I hope the flypast happens as he’ll enjoy that as will I. He’ll be home for that. I love all the pageantry and history, I’ve never seen a Coronation before. Wow the gold coach is so shiny! Edited May 6, 2023 by P&O SUE 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little damp though. Enjoy. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckett Posted May 6, 2023 #45449 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I have WiFi! Isn't it all glorious! The choirs have moved me to tears already. I've had my dear dad with me in spirit and when earlier today I saw the Royal Marines I cried unashamedly. Jane xxxx 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
