Coronation (1 Viewer)

[NorthernWisdom]

So, Republican here, but I'll dip in and out as it's a moment of historical interest, innit.

Could do without the obsequious interviews with the likes of Jamie Oliver mind you, just let me listen to the choral music!

They are giving out flags at STP, when I said "no" to them, you would have thought I committed treason.

Flags at a Stone Temple Pilots gig?!?

Listening to people on the buses and trains is scary

Someone said they didn't think Andrew will be there and some woman piped up with 'I think he's innocent. The whole thing was made up and they have just photoshopped photos"

Be nice wouldn't it

Thank god we don’t have just 3 TV channels anymore so I can avoid this shit. I’m not necessarily a republican either, just not interested in the slightest.

 

[Otis]

Sorry, it's all abbreviations down these parts.

Ant and Dec enjoying the choral music!

It’s already on in my household

Not sure Charles is a popular royal

I actually quite like the bloke, as far as one can like a man who's born into untold wealth and privilege anyway. He does at least seem vaguely aware that he has been.

I won't watch or engage with a moment of it

I'm the same, if people do, then fair enough. But people not being allowed to peacefully protest is a disgrace and an embarrassment.

 

[Sick Boy]

They’ve arrested people at an anti-monarchy protest and police have put a barrier around others so Charlie won’t have to see them.

What a normal country.

The long arm protecting the sausage fingers...

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If the ceremony involved Charles kicking Andrew in the nuts I might tune in

 

[SkyBlueCharlie9]

In London (not for Sausage fingers coronation) there are some wacky characters wandering around here dressed in red white and blue waving tiny union jacks.... lots of crap merch! Feels a bit like loads of people who used to go to Wasps matches..... a bit sad and tired!
Hopefully if we happened to get to the play offs our flags, outfits and costumes will be more creative.
Its pissing down...if it stops I might go to Trafalgar Square to watch the NotMyKing protestors and the middle class royalists shout abuse at each other. Bit like Legion and Zulus last weekend!

Thank god I'm not that dependent on TV that I have to search desperately for something else to watch

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Judge Judy is always a failsafe

 

[NorthernWisdom]

And he's off!

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

I've got a few errands to run (to the tip, Argos etc) so I'm hoping enough people are watching it that there's not loads of people in my way.

On holiday in Benidorm, decorated the front of the lodge for the crack.

 

[Sick Boy]

And he's off!

It definitely does seem as though judgement day is around the corner.

I'd abolish the monarchy. It's a ridiculous institution and it's obscene that they have so much wealth. There are many homeless people in the area where all this is taking place.

I actually prefer him to his late mother, who received an undeserved positive press in my view. At least he does seem to be fairly enlightened on the environment. She was prepared to spend our money to keep Andrew out of the Courts. He does have some crazy views especially on alternative medicine and he sees nothing wrong with having so much privilege.

Shocking that people can't protest peacefully against this.

Christ.

Bet your's dwarfs that

Nothing makes you prouder than waving a little plastic flag made in China that'll take 500 years up decompose

Less time than Philip then

 

[Johnnythespider]

The need of so many people to bow and scrape to somebody in a ridiculous outfit absolutely baffles me, I hope he's the last but very much doubt it as the arrests in London show

The Duke of Kent looking like Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn at the end of Death Becomes Her

Interested enough to make the effort to come on here and tell everyone how uninterested you are though.

Bizarre!

 

[CCFCSteve]

I can’t say I’ve been too excited by it all but just flicked it on as like it or not, it’s part of our country’s history

Not really a reason to watch but to each their own.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Depends if you’ve got an interest in our country’s history i guess. Might be the last or penultimate coronation for all we know . All feels a bit dated and i say that as someone who leans more towards monarchist than republican
