    Interested enough to watch It on TV
    @rowlandscastle444 how disappointing for your wife, I hope she has recovered and enjoyed watching it on TV.

    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.




    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    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 ?
  • Waste of money . Shrug shoulders
    i stayed 3,628 miles away from the coronation.

    Well, I was 4,309 miles away @war garden 572 .  Still enjoyed it though, even if I did have to watch it on CNN ! :)

    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.

    I my garden.

    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).

    Great pictures, @BuzzyLizzie

    I my garden.

    Neutral.
    The figures for the TV viewers are quite revealing. 

    Many people didn’t think it a “once in a lifetime” thing enough to tune in. 

    I believe affection for QE2 was keeping people on board; I think now it’s Charles not as many people are invested.

    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.
