Coronation of Charles soon

[Rose65]

In May will be a great occasion, lots of pomp and ceremony.

I do however feel sadness.
I loved our wonderful Queen who lived an exemplary life of duty. In contrast I just cannot help but remember the behaviour of Charles and Camilla towards Diana. It should be Diana beside Charles, she was so beautiful and really loved him, given time they could have grown together. I wish Camilla had not interfered.
I suppose we must forget past troubles because things always move on.

I can't wait to see it, I recently watched our late Queens coronation, thank God Charles is cutting his back.

It'll be very interesting to see just how much he reduces the whole Pomp & Splendour

I remember the last one. It will be a long day for him and he is no longer a young ma

The late Queen was absolutely exhausted at the end of the day and she was in the bloom of youth

Most of us love occasions like these....all the wonderful uniforms, costumes and ancient traditions. Don't let the killjoys spoil it.

The Brits know how to put on a great show. I think most forget the "royals' are pretty normal human beings, who happen to lead extraordinary lives. And like all normal humans, they are flawed in some way. Nobody is perfect. That does not detract from them becoming the center of a grand occasion.

As only an observer I think Prince Charles will have a very difficult time filling the Queens boots. The Queen seemed to be a great natural leader and was well respected worldwide. I hope Charles can step up, he does have a lot of baggage to carry, if you know what I mean.

A great deal of money spent on a show that could have been put to better use.
