I'm still not great but I'm popping in to say which moment of the coronation is clearly stuck in my head. It's the moment when Charles stood in a linen shift and was shorn of all his magnificent robes and furs. For a moment he stood there looking like an elderly man and a vulnerable man. It could have been a photo of an elderly man in a hospital ward, or some other place where you wear a linen shift 🤷‍♀️ Hopefully you get my drift.
It was a very poignant moment for me. Here, an ordinary man, about to accept the mantle of King.
So that's what stuck in my head. I'm off back to the Cave of Gloom. Love to everyone and I am keeping people in my healings spells. ❤

Just caught up and wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone posting yesterday, starting new threads, producing very appropriate new titles, sharing pictures, making me laugh, cry and feel very proud to be British, and of course part of the Tattle throng.

Thanks to @Churchill's Ghost for the winning title.

Well... Corrie is over. The Service was superb, the Parade was fantastic, and the appearance at the balcony was too short because of the weather. So was the flypast. Well, there's next trooping of the colours.

We all enjoyed watching and sharing our thoughts on this little corner of the forum of ours.

Unfortunately, we have to mention those two.
Sparry was spotted at the airport and was confirmed to have left to LA and not some Euro hideaway. He was as messy as you please and carrying hangers.
He managed to act exactly as expected from a 4 years old feral toddler (Smeg, come instil some "manners, manners, manners!" into him, you lazy cow!): he was gurning and making faces at every unsuspecting passer by, laughing at himself, being such a "rebel" and by neither taking the pledge of allegiance to the King, nor singing the National Anthem. I'm sure 10 years old Tik-Tokers are SOOOOO identifying with him right now!

Then, Dior proudly announced they "tailored" that crumpled mess of a pantomime toff suit Sparry was wearing.

And finally, there was a minor logistical hitch, which left the King waiting for the Walses' car and them entering the abbey together. Of course, all the shit-stirrers journalists creamed themselves writing fan-fiction about huge fights and shouting matches which delayed the car. yes. Ladies and Gents, I present you the "royal experts".

Well that's about it, if i missed anything, please add to the recap.

Corrie On!

Why are none of the newspapers and media pointing out that Sparry couldn't have made it to his son's birthday party.

Harold's plane landed in America at 6:30 and apparently he lives a 2 hour drive away from the airport.

Who has a party for a 4 year old at 8:30 / 9:00 at night?

Am a tad tipsy, but just like to say having found you guys when I thought I was the only one who saw through Wallis, to the Platinum Jubilee, to the devastating death of the Queen, the funeral and then onto The Cut, the podcasts, Netflix and Spare, it has been an absolute joy to spend the past few days with you. Luffs you all xxx

I don’t know about you all, but I blubbed like a small child yesterday during the Coronation. So many online commentators say that King Charles looked drawn, ill etc - but then again, we haven’t seen true reverence and a sense of awe for many a long year. Kate looked exquisite, Hazzard was obscured by Anne’s hat, the singing was incandescent (especially Bryn Terfell’s - but then Welsh voices, like so many other Welsh things in general, are the best :)) I hope the witch was absolutely frothing with rage in her McMansion. If she hadn’t thought that royalty was like something out of a Hallmark film where spunky young American wins over hearts of stuffy aristocrats and takes centre stage, she could have been there too.
