Coronation of King Charles 3rd

This is as bad as some of the political threads.
You Great British are a strange bunch.
I sometimes wonder what the United in United Kingdom stands for. You really find it difficult to get along with each other at times.

I wonder what schools the choir boys went to? I’m not a betting man, but I would throw a couple of shillings that institutions such as Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Westminster, Rugby, Shrewsbury, Charterhouse and maybe Gordonstone in Scotland, to appease the Hooray Hamish’s and where Charlie went, all were represented.

£3,600 may not be much to their parents, but a single parent with a gifted singer child, would need to work 450 hours at minimum wage to make that.

But, we are all in it together. I nearly forgot.

You’re being outraged for outraged sake. Why are you arsed? I am a betting man and I would throw a couple of shillings that if a single parent had a gifted singer child then 99 times out of 100 they wouldn’t be thinking of sending them to a choir!!!

Nor do I think there is anyone sat at home watching it thinking it’s not fair and that could be them if only they were born into different circumstances.

It is also a real shitty thing to punch down on talented kids because of their so called privileged circumstances, all those kids today will have worked their socks off to get to a level to showcase their talent like they have done only to get shot down by faux outraged bitter people.
 
Watched most of the service in Westminster Abbey - thought it was a bit confusing and the main players looked a bit nervous and ponderous. I think the Queens Coronation in 1953 - probably the first big TV spectacle in the UK was well received but today it was hard to see how that service fitted with the mood of the nation. I thought bits of it were a bit odd, the screens, the oven glove etc…. Perhaps the Platinum Jubilee, State Funeral and Coronation has been overkill in such a short period of time. I think the general mood of the nation is positive towards the Royal Family but not quite so widely enth as the media would like to have us think.

You are right. They'd be peddled onto Britain's Got Talent and have their own youtube channel ;)

I’m not outraged at all, what would they achieve? I’m apathetic, the point I was making a it shouldn’t be fees that get you the gig or that rules out most talented kids who don’t have the money, let the best sing, not the best who can also afford it. Surely that’s fairer?

You’re a pathetic what?

This was spotted in the crowd. I quite liked it.
 
just back now from being on the piss after the game, not seen nothing about today's results or the coronation , I'm no royalists, served 12 years for my country in the military, that must of been embarrassing Liverpool FC, the players looked embarrassed and looked like they didn't understand what was going on, probably would of earned more respect if they just stayed silent or turned their backs to the pitch in a kind of silent protest..
 
May I thank all who replied and liked my post regarding my daughter who took part in the Coronation parade today. She moved to Canada in 2010 to marry her Canadian husband (also military). She joined the Airforce over there and it was an honour when she was selected to take part in the ceremony and she has had a wonderful couple of weeks ‘back home’ in preparation and taking part.
