Coronation Party

Coronation Party

As today is coronation day I thought it might be fun to get together for this momentous occasion.

I would have invited everyone to my home for high tea but I’m in hospital so the event will happen here on the forums instead.

I respect that not everyone is a monarchist or even cares for the monarchy. This being especially true for those First Nations people and others who suffered anywhere under colonialism.

You can’t beat the Brits for pomp and splendour so please feel free to join in wearing your tiaras, robes and silk stockings.

I’d love to see lots of forumites with their fine China join in for a cuppa from 5pm East coast time, 3pm west coast time and 9am Greenwich Mean time.

Re: Coronation Party

They do all look so fancy and regal! @Eve7 Some of them would be rather uncomfortable to sit in though!

Re: Coronation Party

We went to a service at Westminster Abbey @Bow Such a magnificent building and I had communion from the good silver.

Charles and Camilla look exhausted.

Re: Coronation Party

I’d be exhausted too @Eve7 !!

we only got to see the outside of it, magnificent buildings…. So many magnificent buildings around London.

im sure all the songs have meaning but I wish they didn’t need to sing so much. Just get the important stuff done. Can hardly understand what they are singing anyways…. Wonder if they realise that??!?!
