King Charles lll Coronation

[Mervyn and Trish]

I don't remember the 1953 Coronation at all but I remember seeing footage of that amazing lady since.

During today's procession I could see what they mean about that gold coach. It was jiggling about horribly. Hope it has sick bags!

going for a steak pasty at Greggs with Harry before he sets off home

Too late - apparently Meghan told him go straight back after the ceremony and he was seen in a car going to Heathrow

Better let Stephen know although I think it was his turn to pay.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I couldn't help thinking that if they'd chosen a different path Harry and Meghan could have been in the front row in the Abbey and on the balcony at the Palace. But she they made another choice and he was left eating an airline meal with a plastic knife and fork on his lonely way home while the rest of the family enjoyed a good lunch celebrating a historic day.

The latest poll I can find says 45% of the population want the Monarchy abolished. That is already a minority. The picture for the republicans becomes even worse if you consider the potential replacement with an elected head of state because those 45% wouldn't agree who it should be.

For simplicity let's assume there were only two candidates, from the left and right of politics. Let's call them Tony and Boris and, again for simplicity, assume they evenly divided the republican vote.

So that means the overall vote is King Charles 55%, President Tony 22.5% and President Boris 22.5%.

So whichever way it went we would end up with a President 77.5% of the population didn't want.

No thanks.

I hadn’t realised it was so many wishing to see the Monarchy abolished, but I’m not surprised. The percentages that you are trying to show are meaningless because until such time that the Monarchy is removed our present system of Governance will continue along the same old tramlines…one broken tram following the other.

Only when the Monarchy is removed will the people of our country have the right to decide which political system best suits and represents their aspirations and futures, one, which one would hope, is far removed from that of a political system that remains trapped in the archives of medieval history.

Nothing like a slice of quiche and salad to wet the appetite. Yummy! Yummy! I doubt many will be requesting doggy bags after that serving. But credit due as he is settings a good example of what healthy living is all about …. he’ll no doubt be tucking into fillet steak for supper.

Hope Archie’s Birthday is going well…excellent parenting having a dad who wasn’t going to miss his son’s Birthday no matter his other commitment.

OL only joking about banning you, stripping you of your rank would be enough to appease me

I have to say thank goodness the Queen lived such a long life.

If she'd passed away in the previous four years, instead of the elegant and dignified Penny carrying the sword we'd have had Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Dodged a bullet there.

You need have no fears OL. Under the figures quoted there is 0% chance of the Monarchy being abolished in my lifetime or yours. My advice would be to address your campaign towards something achievable.

I was thinking of our children and their children’s futures

Are you going for a steak pasty at Greggs with Harry before he sets off home,Stephen?

Who?

A sad state of affairs really. But they made they’re bed….

There are some like me who think their bed was made for them…but I'll leave that for another day.

I believe Merv got it wrong, I think the 45% wanting the monarchy abolished was from a poll of the under 25s. Since we know that with age comes wisdom, then by their 40s most of these will be fervent monarchies.

[Mervyn and Trish]

You're probably right. But it's still a minority, and one that hasn't a clue what they want to replace it.

They don’t even know what sex they want to be let alone what they want in place of the monarchy.

It was a good test run for William yesterday.

Harry didn’t hang around. Straight to Heathrow and back to Los Angeles directly after the ceremony finished.

[oldbluefox]

Hopefully it will be the last time we see him at a Royal event.

[Mervyn and Trish]

He'll be back home when his fame runs out and Meghan dumps him. I'll give it three years max.
