The Coronation

Didn’t see that. Had to leave for graduation. It’s on Wake Forest campus which is quite beautiful.

Best place in America to catch a college basketball game.

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.

[Rainman]

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

Thought Kerry chunked those over the fence?

All medals aren't created equal, you know.

At the moment touring in Ireland. Each and every pub we saw today had their tv on. Charles III was everywhere.
Just sigh....

Is that a good sigh, or a sad sigh?

[Wim]

@George-K Sigh again

Don’t like Charles or his spouse. I’m not watching.

That’s what Mrs. George said this AM.

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.

I was in the UK but avoided the entire thing. In Manchester there aren’t that many folk who give a shit. There was a freaking wild party going in as we walked to the pub. Some very strong cigarettes were being smoked. I’m too old for that stuff. The first pub was charging over 6 pounds a pint, the second was charging 99 pence. Guess where we spent the evening.

[Doctor Phibes]

Oh yeah, they’re arresting people for peacefully protesting. And I really do mean peaceful. For saying ‘Not My King’.

This place is really going downhill. Fucking Tories. One MP said ‘If people don’t like it they should leave’. I already did but he needs to remember who works for whom. Honestly what a bunch.

Best part: The grandkids on the balcony.

[George K]

What the actual hell was that at 0:04?

[xenon]

Even for a coronation, it felt like a bit much.

Multiple robes, multiple scepters / crosses / canes / orbs…

Wouldn’t the regalia have more impact if it were just one thing?

Then again, if you can’t go overboard with a coronation, when can you…

[Doctor Phibes]

I'm still not seeing much excitement from normal British people. The BBC keeps telling me different. I saw a couple of houses with bunting.

Meh.

[Mik]

I don't think Charles was nearly as exciting as Elizabeth. The country has been yawning at Charles for decades, and his reign will be relatively short.
