James ... it's started already ... watching Sky UK as I pack my hamper with goodies and tbe repórter ( name escapes me) is talking about the Coronation Theatre and furniture within... Coronation Chair, Thrones of Estate and the two thrones on the raised dais ... she's saying how old it all , centuries old .. all of it ... ahh I don't think so ... I saw those two thrones in St Edwards Chapel a few weeks ago, they were a gift from Canada to TM for the 1937 Coronation ... they have been temporarily recovered for today !! I had a giggle ... and I do realise she was probably talking about the Coronation Throne ( but that's not what she said )...
Leaving home at 745 , will Tube from Sth Ken to Knightsbridge as I am still on my damned crutches for two more weeks ! Will then walk into Hyde Park with friends ... the big day is here ! I hope everyone wherever you are , has a wonderful time !!
Since you are there and have some access to local and national broadcasting, please do let us know who among the so-called royal experts will be doing some ongoing or even brief 2-minute commentary on the weekend's events both Coronation and other official moments. I'm thinking of such "experts" as Lady Colin Campbell, Angela Levin, etc. Perhaps even our Fergs who will be in a right royal snit at not being invited into the Abbey will instead be setting herself up as a "royal expert" to comment during the day?
Ahhh... my password issues seem to have magically resolved !!!
I was very disappointed to read ( DM today ) that more members of the extended Royal Family have not been invited tomorrow. I understand wanting to reduce the numbers of peers ... but family...who have been to almost everything all the time?? I guess room was needed for Ant and Dec ( I guess they will be jumping infront of a mic and camera at any opportunity)
