Poll: Will you be putting up the Bunting next month?

Wasn't this also why the Queen didn't attend some ceremony with Charles (I think his wedding to Camilla) as she is also a divorcee?

The Church of England's official position is that it discourages divorce so she must have felt that she had to maintain some distance from their wedding. The CoE would obviously prefer it if their leader was not a divorcee, but the breaking of his marriage vow is a more serious issue from a moral/religious perspective.

The guest list has a load of other country's Royal family members coming, what's he playing at now!??

Huh forgot that he is an adulterer, how can he possibly lead the Anglican Church as a result and thus be King?

A double-whammy* of institutional rot, but then again that seems to be what defines Britain today so maybe it's best to let it play out.

*triple if we include the religious aspect.

wondering how much a sodden bearskin weighs - surprised they still seem to be real, and dry, just 700g


New weather radar maybe useful to identify gaps in clouds https://www.eumetsat.int/features/discover-first-images-mtg-i1

It will be a great shame if the weather is unkind to all those participants and the crowds watching.

No it wont.

Do you think the lack of bunting in towns is down to today's elections? No bunting where I live, as elections. But the shops, esp the local charity shops have impressive displays.

 

[Chris Wilson]

Oh, stand by your first thoughts Tony.

"Might give us a bit of a view of what god thinks about two divorcies getting married and one of them being the head of the church now."

Don't hold back on the view from the St.Edwards' pulpit

Village down the road as bunting wrapped around everything but they rely on tourist trade

Plenty has appeared around here recently, and a lot of flags as well.

No its because of Rishi Sunak.

Historian Who Claims Rishi Sunak Is Not ‘Grounded In Our Culture’ Gets Much-Needed Reality Check

"Whatever culture David Starkey represents, it isn’t mine," one person replied on Twitter.

www.huffingtonpost.co.uk

Historian David Starkey has caused alarm after claiming that prime minister Rishi Sunak is “not fully grounded in our culture” in the UK.

Speaking to GB News on Thursday morning as part of the channel’s coronation coverage, Starkey somehow managed to take aim at the PM, the country’s first leader of colour.

The concerning remark came after host Andrew Pierce said: “The prime minister now has been, in my mind, detached or at least semi-detached, from this coronation.”

Sat outside Buckingham Palace, Starkey said: “Invisible. And I think one of the reasons that I think a lot has gone wrong, for example, why parliament has not been properly represented at the coronation of a parliamentary monarchy, is because the government isn’t interested in the constitution.”

Although GB News deleted the tweet sharing Starkey’s remarks within an hour, it did not slip under Twitter’s radar – and people were quick to call out the historian.

Did Mr.Starkey mention bunting in order for his remarks to grace this thread?

Most times I wonder if you are just playing the fool or not.

I would suggest the only way this weekend on the forum will go harmoniously is if there are are two threads. "Post here to share your positivity on the coronation occasion".

And "Post here to share your negativity on the coronation occasion".

Any posts transgressing these rules sees a 3 day ban.

(Send cheques to my accountant Manny Cohen, as usual please mods....) Cash also welcome of course

Or we could have one thread and simply suspend all of the usual troublemakers until Tuesday *ahem*

Surely this thread would be pretty lifeless as all the loyal subjects will be too busy lining the streets to celebrate their new royal overlord in person to worry about posting on here?

 

[Chris Wilson]

My behaviour on here during any and ALL Royal occasions sad or happy, has been exemplary and fitting to such. Away from those, OK, meh...
