Going to the Prince Charles pub with the RBL for a few beers. Rumours are the Landlord has asked permi to change the name of the pub to the King Charles. He is my King, she is not my Queen.

I will watch some of it on the telly, as I did with funeral of Liz II. Glad I did so.
Headline on page 5 of The Times yesterday stated, "Coronation to be beacon of inclusion and diversity."
So I shall be looking out for someone there who has been included because they are working class atheist, like me.
Not that I have anything against any of those who will be in attendance at the abbey, including the big cheese himself.
I merely have a feeling that people like me (a few million, I believe) will feel we are being excluded or underrepresented.

Plenty of volunteers have been invited so lots of ‘normal’ people will be there

6 of us in a lodge in the lakes this coming weekend, a few big rolaylists in the group who’ve got the bunting for the lodge 
Might take my mountain bike and go for a ride, I’m pro royalist but I can’t be bothered watching it on tv.

Flag is up outside my castle, but then it always is. Not heard of any street party, not many speak on our road. I'm all for it. Glad he's made King, glad we have a KING at last. (That should start a row). Not fussed about watching the ceremony. I can't abide the commentators waffling on. Might tune in to see him get the thing placed on his head though. Weather forecast is rubbish so might as well.

Being pedantic Trouble is (according to at least 2 of the well known British English dictionaries) that is American English not British English. British English still uses crowned
Probably the Americans who started to use coronated in the first place.

If we didn't have a monarchy, we would need another way of having a head of state. Can you imagine the snouts at the trough for that one?
How many countries have a Prime Minister holding the top job? Do we need a Head of State? Does the monarch hold real power, or is it a titular position?

It will prob be the most watched Telly event of the year by some distance , and that’s around the world
The Monarchy and their “need” will always be a debate but it always seems to find a way to bring the country together

Don’t worry, that’s not what she’ll be called.Is the ceremonial motor home not getting decorated in bunting??
Plenty of houses decorated in our street, I will try to avoid the whole thing as the idea of Camilla being called The Queen of England revolts me.

I'm happy to accept that someone is coronated at a coronation. And that they probably get crowned at a crownation ??

From what I've read, it is mostly people selected from a list of nominations of people who work in a few charities selected by Charles and Camilla.

There are over 1250 volunteers who are attending the coronation plus 800 plus charity workers from a 13 year old who raised £600k to scouts , young helpers etc

Talking of normal people going, Ticketmaster did a stonking job of screwing that up

And how many of those 1250 will be in the abbey when the crown goes on the head?
I think it is going to be about 200.
The rest will be in the vicinity watching on screens etc.
All of this is by-the-bye to me. I'll be watching the spectacle on telly.
It is what it is.
A historic moment.
His mum did a good job - I see no reason why he shouldn't do the same.
I don't have any problem with him being crowned and/or coronated.
I remember very well when he was "invested" as Prince of Wales at Caernarfon.

I think the comment was in relation to you saying Camilla would be called Queen of England!Because Queen Consort is so much easier on the ear?

I’ll be playing golf in a team scratch event at an away course. Watching on the news later for 5 minutes will be enough for me.

I’m not interested in the slightest. I obviously won’t be able to completely avoid it, but I won’t be deliberately watching. The wife probably will.
