The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

As the recessional goes on I cannot help but wonder if Charles feels a bit silly.

She’s the Royal Stick In Waiting, whatever that is.

@Mik

"The Princess Royal, 72, took part in the Coronation Procession following the crowning ceremony as the "Gold-Stick-in-Waiting." The prestigious position, which Princess Anne has held since 1998, dates back to the 15th century when two officers — a Gold Stick and a Silver Stick — were placed close to the monarch to protect them from harm.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's only daughter rode on horseback behind King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, in the Gold State Coach as they made their way from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace. Princess Anne led 6,000 armed services personnel through the streets of London in the procession.

While many members of the royal family participated in the parade by riding in horse-drawn carriages or cars, Princess Anne was the only royal to ride on horseback."

I'm participating in the celebrations by blasting this shit on max volume on the way to a kid's birthday party.

Let it not be said I forsook the customs.

@Aqua-Letifer Honoring the past by making the present obnoxious. Winning.

I missed the live action, but will enjoy watching rerun segments.
I think it's really cool.

Is that a good sigh, or a sad sigh?

Tell Mrs George we call her Horse Face here too.
Princess Anne rocks. She’s all in, committed to duty, like QEII was. I respect that.
