Paulines late dad was a soldier on guard on the mall for the Queen's coronation. Not arranged as a smiley face? Very disappointing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted May 6, 2023 #45457 Share Posted May 6, 2023 It’s pouring with rain here so no gardening, so inside dipping in out of the ceremony, it would be quicker if they dropped some of the religious stuff. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted May 6, 2023 #45463 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Well whilst I am watching it at home with rain teeming down, my sister sends me a message that she is in a bar in Kos watching some of the ceremony, 5 mins later get a message from my son who arrived in Japan on holiday yesterday to say he and his girlfriend are watching in Kyoto. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Presto2 Posted May 6, 2023 #45467 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Have to admit ... wasn't going to watch it but we have and still are. An amazing procession ... I can't imagine how they've coordinated that. Incredible and thank goodness all seems to have gone off with everyone safe. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a refreshing change in the secular world we live in. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey16 Posted May 6, 2023 #45470 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Lovely royal breakfast graham and il expect you have afternoon tea ready as well enjoy your few days with Sarah and give Pauline my love 😍 just finished watching the coronation and all the services lined up in the gardens of Buckingham palace and it brought back memories of when we went to see the queen for a garden tea party and had cucumber and mint sandwiches and lovely they were and how simple they were, lashings of tea and little chocolate cakes with a gold crown on , just walking through those arches and then inside with the huge staircases, the time went by so quickly, but cherished the moment. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the motorway bridge at Lightwater. We were waving our flags at the coaches. Apparently someone famous was en route for that London. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not their greatest fan, but am glad it went off OK. Millions watched a great spectacle and I hope it was all they hoped for. We do things like that quite well,don't we. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
