You sure girl? It’s peeing it down all day

I think that likelihood has been taken into account.

Having said that, I have come down with some sort of bug, I feel like crap, hopefully it'll be gone for Saturday.

Folk camped out at the last Coronation. My mum was nine and my dad was 13. Mother is watching it today but Father says the King " can go fuck himself"

The Cullinan Diamond 💎 in the Sceptre is the biggest in the world and worth at least $400 million

Apparently South Africa want it back, they've accused us (as in British people) of thieving it.

That was nipped in the bud.

Anti-Monarchy protesters were huckled into the back of polis vans and had their "Not my King" placards confiscated.

It's feared Eco twats are going to vandalize one of the monuments.

I hope it's not Queen Victoria's, I was named after her.

I didn't smile much either, my mother said she didn't know I had dimples until I was ten.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

People should be allowed to protest peacefully....not sure why their placards have been confiscated.

I really enjoyed all the pomp and pageantry. The horsed wearing beautiful blue rosettes. Enjoyed the ceremony, the first coronation, I've seen, might see a second for William, who knows. Certainly not George's lol.

I thought Charles looked choked in places. Looked great in his costume. Camilla looked good, loved her dress and very nervous. Should have been Consort though.

He will make a Good 👑King.

It's a shame he couldn't marry Camilla when he wanted to, back fifty years. Saved all the heartache and scandal over the years. Must say they do look inlove and happy tbh.

Sick of them tbh. Get used to it, Charles not going anywhere.

This is a supposedly free country.
People do have the right to protest...onlookers say the police were too heavy handed and arrested some of the protestors for nothing.

The risks were too high. They had rape alarms with the intention of spooking the horses. Can you imagine the carnage? People and animals could have died. They deserved to get arrested and its about time the police dealt with anti social behaviour with intent to disrupt and/or harm others.

I totally agree, and the so called bloody eco warriors!

Onlookers said many of the 50 odd arrested were just holding placards...nothing else.
Of course if people are protesting with intent to cause harm or damage they should be arrested.

If they are protesting peacfully, they have the right, as I said, this is supposed to be a free country, chipping away at peoples freedom is wrong...we dont live in China FGS.

Yup.

It's not like they were throwing tea into a harbor.

You have to remember that not everyone would take kindly to any kind of protest, and that in itself could have led to things kicking off. To protest peacefully during any other time might have been different, but it was deliberately provoking to do this at the actual coronation. And these people knew it. So, no....they don't have a right to be provoking and incite trouble.
