Lots of people, @Busy-Lizzie. Have you noticed though how there appear to be very few umberellas in the photo around the Victoria Monument but quite a few in the one looking towards Admiralty Arch ? Selective rainfall ?
When there's always biscuits in the tin, where's the fun in biscuits ?
I never watched any of it myself, but a few things have stood out to me. You can't protest freely any more. Some folk live very comfortable lives shielded from the reality of the majority. Also, there are some folk that probably seem normal to their neighbours, but seem to have a very disturbed personality.
How would you feel when at your wedding with 200 guests, a group of 3 enter screaming the garden tent and enrol banners saying they are against the old-fashioned form of connection. Or like that man that was arrested in advance, throws eggs at you? One thing what these notmyking, stoptheoil and lostgeneration have in common is the lack of knowing when to and how to approach. They must have missed that year (of 3 btw), when parents teach their kids the how to.
Not that's of any importance for you but for me, but I was watching the concert until the end yesterday evening. It was great, and what a difference to the previous concert (the one I saw for the late Queen's 60th jubilee).
Anyone read about the arrest of people planning a peaceful protest against the coronation? So pleased I live in a free country. Anyone concerned about spending millions to crown a multi millionaire when people are using food banks and warm banks? So pleased I live in a fair country. Anyone concerned about the celebrations for an adulterer and his adulterous wife? Placing them in the eyes of the world as the most important people in the kingdom. So pleased I live in a country that can be proud of our respect for marriage and family life.
I am happy so very many people enjoyed the day. At least it achieved that.
According to the Bible, adultery is having sexual relations with a person to whom you are not married … whether you are married to someone else nor not.
Nowadays many folk live with partners to whom they are not married; sometimes they say they are engaged to them, sometimes they don’t bother with that bit of window-dressing.
As the Bible didn’t recognise divorce a second marriage would also have been regarded as adultery.
Most of us have moved on from such inhumane attitudes condemning folk in an unhappy relationship to a lifetime of making each other miserable.
If we must hold others to standards to which we don’t adhere ourselves, we should remember that the Bible also says ‘let he who is without sin cast the first stone’.

But we’re not talking about wedding dresses. This was a coronation. Surely most of it gets put away to be used next time … specially made stuff goes to museums where it inspires future generations of seamstresses and embroiderers. I have no problem with that … there’s little enough spent on the encouragement of craft nowadays as it is. It’s good to see the fine examples of needlework in Camilla’s dress etc. Do we really want to see Madonna or Mrs Trump wearing it?

Think I said before, but I'll say it again, Penny Mordaunt was great and so elegant.
Here are a couple of photos for those who thought there weren't many there, @debs64? No wonder Rowlands wife had trouble finding a place.
