Tonga is the only other country that does similar.Many European countries have Royal Families, and they do not have coronations, it’s a uniquely British thing to do. The flip side though, is many people across the Western World don’t really know of any other Royal Family, other than the British one, and a big part of its selling point as an advert for GB is the pomp and ceremony. Think about how many people visit the Tower of London every year just as an example.
I think it's people didn't know really what to expect. At least with a royal wedding you kind of know, cause well it's a wedding albeit a posh one.Maybe it's his age. I thought they'd be a bit more energetic (and maybe that might help with mood) but I forget he's in his 70s.
If you watch clips of the Queen’s Coronation they all read from prompt cards then as well! Philip read from one like William did etc.I thought part of the problem yesterday was Justin Welby. He always sounds as though he belongs in a board room rather than a church and he ought to have learned his lines. Rowan Williams would have been so much better.
I was a bit disappointed as well. It did look like the twilight of the monarchy. Charles and Camilla both looked old and a bit unwell. The crowd outside were quite subdued and the flypast was curtailed by the rain.
Starts at 8What time is the concert today?
I’ll probably skim through it on the iplayer after the event!What time is the concert today? Also, I know Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, etc are taking part. Any idea who else is taking part?
You know what, I actually think the latter performances on that list will be very good.I’ll probably skim through it on the iplayer after the event!
Doesn’t look like a great lineup to meWhat time is the concert today? Also, I know Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, etc are taking part. Any idea who else is taking part?
Take That are rolled out at every royal event it seems. Can't say I'm a fan, but I suppose beggars can't be choosers. LolDoesn’t look like a great lineup to me
