The Coronation Countdown Thread

Quartz · 11 Oct 2022 at 23:54

King Charles' coronation will be held on May 6th 2023.

I think that's a bit early: I'd rather July or August or early September for a better chance of good weather. I do hope that Big Ears doesn'r economise too much: the UK is among the best at putting on pageants and ceremonial, as Her Late Majesty's funeral shows.

One thing I hope they do do is have street cleaners all along the route to pick up all the horse droppings.

Cutting it down is a terrible idea. It’s been 70 years since a coronation, we should have the full works.

Maybe the country will come to its senses by then and abolish the monarchy.

Unless equality is for us and not for them?

Big ears probably got a slide saying the horse **** from his carriage creates 0.00000001% emissions and decided against it

Equality is a utopian dream at all class levels. Fighting it is futile. A hierarchy naturally exists in the animal and human world, even down to an elemental level with the periodic table.

The 6.May.2023 falls on a Saturday.

No extra bank holiday for us plebs!

Joking aside, I hope UK puts on a good show like @Quartz said :-)

I can't wait to not watch this.
