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

[robfosters]

No, you mean you are wondering this...

Well yeah I am tbh. It did seem out of place somewhat.

 

[Sankari]

Have they really though. They don’t have to worry about being homeless or not paying their bills, but it’s one hell of a thing to be born in to. They have their own concerns and worries, and they have the eyes of the world upon them every second of the day on every word you ever say and everything you ever do.

Yeah, but I think I could cope with that if everyone else was paying to ensure I lived a life of unparalleled luxury.

Material luxury, not sure it’s quite all it’s cracked up to be, you have very little freedom. You might well regret it I would say…

I enjoyed it, it’s as much a celebration as anything else, I thought it was great.

QEII held the crown until her dying day, there's no way Charles is too old for it. And there's no way he CBA after waiting this long. He's earned it, I'm glad to see him crowned King and Camilla Queen.

Nah, hand it over to young blood, nobody really likes Charles. William is fairly clean.

If the gilded cage is large enough, I can forget that it's a cage.

I'm really puzzled by this service. It is not what I was expecting at all.

What exactly were you expecting? This is based on how it’s been done for centuries.

Hoped not to be in but weather outside is grim, didn't know what time service was on and better half didn't even realise it was today, had tv on ~5mins while I'm at pc and just listening to it in the background feels weird... Like a jazzed up Songs Of Praise. As much as it is an historic day, at least this church but really isn't my cup of tea, I'd much rather be out cycling!

That is a very good way of describing it. I was expecting pomp and ceremony but this feels like anaemic songs of praise pithiness. Compare the coronation of ERII with this and it's night and day (unless the serious bit is still to come).

Note Welby ditched the traditional service and wrote a special liturgy for today. I'm blaming him.

They're literally above the law... That's quite a lot of freedom.

To an extent they are, but if you say or do something stupid the world knows about it and never forgets. You can’t just go out without cameras following your every move. You are expected to fulfil the job 24/7 for the remainder of your life. It isn’t all it’s cracked up to be IMO and most people would not be able to withstand it.

Isn't it ERII? (QEII being a ship and all )

It's partly the way it's being filmed with those slow zoom in shots. It feels very bright and clean. If there was a medieval guerilla film making edit I would rather switch to that.

When I pointed out the lack of pomp the resident special-person suggested the lack of pomp was due to a chip on my shoulder... Lol. But then what do you expect from GD ****s?

How is there a lack of pomp on display here? What planet are you guys on.

I'm sure they could shut down Alton Towers for the whole day and not have to queue for any rides if they wanted to.

 

[StriderX]

Where are the elephants and lions?

They're literally above the law...

They're literally not. They even pay taxes.

And then get absolutely crucified by press and everyone else for it sure. But they don’t really do that do they.
