Should be a great long weekend.
Anyone got any street parties planned?
If it’s anything like the queens funeral should be lots of pomp and pagentry.

Where I work they’re giving us the afternoon off on the Friday before and we’re having a party with locals invited. The take up has been off the scale. I don’t know if it’s the King or the free booze and food attracting folk😉 but it’s still great to see some community spirit still exists in this increasingly shitty world |

I’m going to pop down to the Mall with my mates Tarquin and Jeremy to see if we can get a glimpse of the big man.

I wonder if the eco-nuts will stage some kind of protest at the eco-nuts coronation.

I wouldn't let anyone know you had a street party when the queen karked it, Cobham, you'll lose your place in the queue for the Surrey Herald of Arms Extraordinary! It's been vacant since 1996 and you must have climbed pretty high up that greasy pole already  |

What exactly is there to celebrate regarding this? There seems to be anti-monarch gigs and parties all over the place (maybe not Stoke  ) How do people celebrate, is it like three cheers hip hip hooray? I honestly dont know. |

I'm hoping that the coverage of the coronation doesn't reach quite the same level of North Korean style media bleach-out that the queen's passing provoked. Charlie seems quite keen to tone things down a bit in due course which is very welcome, but I can't see that he'll be allowed to for this occasion. Even if I deliberately choose to adopt a Cobham-esque ignorance of news and politics, I fear that Charlie's hat wearing ceremony will be literally unavoidable  |

The first time I saw TV was the Queen's coronation at my Uncle Frank's in Maybank. He had a 9 inch screen which was brown.
We were taken from school in a bus to see the official film at the cinema, which is my earliest recollection of going to the pictures.
People may sneer today but for many young people it will be the most memorable early event in their life. I hope some silly protesters don't spoil the day for the millions who hope to enjoy it and the king is safe.

Not surprising given that you were posting on the Government thread just before midnight on NYE 😉 Business as usual for you I would've thought? |

Mrs R&W90 was showing me an ASDA price T-shirt that she thought I might like to wear and it's put me right off... 🤢
Thankful for the day off, happy for people who enjoy this sort of thing but praying it goes nowhere near as overboard as the 'period of mourning' last year that became utterly absurd.

I’m sure it’ll be just one joyous celebration for one day for people that want to enjoy it. Everybody else can go about their business as usual. I’m sick of people trying to put a downer on anything that might just make people happy in life. If you’re not interested it won’t be hard to stay away from it. Seems all people want to talk about is bad, depressing news. Grrrrr |

Utterly bonkers, the RF are now just unfortunate hangers-on from by-gone era.
How about Charlie-boy coughs up his share of the inheritance tax he dodged to pay for the extravaganza?
When looked at the the outside in, the brainwashing the RF has imposed on the country for centuries is truly astonishing.
Bowing and forelock tugging, take me back to Dec 25 1776 and I'd be crossing the Delaware.
