The Coronation of Charles 111

And they’re off. The royal couple have set off. In the carriage.

Good innit!

They both look rather nervous.

Glad I didn’t have to get up at silly o’clock to plait those horses manes and get their tails so shiny and knit free, they really are magnificent.

Yeah, and I’m not even a royalist! But I love the pageantry and think we do it good!

I just love the horses and the uniform and the precision of the processions.

We do do pageantry exceptionally well!

We have grandchildren here with us this week-end, my husband being quite a royalist has the tv on trying to interest them. He's just said to granddaughter, who has only just got up "I was lucky enough to see Queen Elizabeth crowned" granddaughter "well good for you, now can I have my breakfast " However, grandson is watching it with granddad and actually seems quite interested. You never can tell how children will view this day and what memories they may have of it.

For all glued to your tv sets, don’t forget to move around and keep the blood circulating….. it’s a long time to sit.

I need to shut up - but just realised those are the (presumably) Commonwealth flags lining the Mall.
Lovely - getting teary. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I wonder what Camilla is holding on her lap?

It’s very emotional.

Andrew looks tense

Rosie has that in hand for me-spotting squirrels in the garden means rushing to the kitchen door to be let out.
Twice in the last hour so far - I’ll have my 10,000 steps done even without the usual walkies at this rate

Good grief.

I’d like a close look at the material of Camila’s frock.

Where are William and Kate?

Good heavens, Sophie looks anxious

And we are off!

saw Harry go in with eugenie and her husband and now sitting with them behind princess ann who's plume on her hat obscures his face at times!

Anne is channelling her inner pirate.

Kate looks magnificent

And Penny Mordant!

What a moment for all the young grandsons.
