Is it over yet?

Is it safe to resurface now?

The Scousers did us all proud I believe#

The best use of £3.60 of my taxes that I have witnessed, in fact, it was probably slightly less than that because of the reduced number of aircraft used in the flypast.
Seeing the armed forces supporting an occasion like this, both as security and performing ceremonial duties brought back great memories of being involved in State Occasions for many years.

It certainly makes a change from seeing the Armed Forces deployed to cover for striking workers which also costs the taxpayer a lot of money because they are often deployed all over the country and just get on with whatever they are tasked to do.

Anyway BT, there is more to come with the mega concert tonight which is also being beamed all over the world for those who are interested, as was the case yesterday. The broadcasting rights for these couple of days will amount to more than what the whole show has cost the British taxpayer, I wonder who will pocket that money, it certainly won't be the main performers.

My son-in-law brought the grandkids over for tea last night, he was gushing. He's ex-army and his last job was drilling new intakes at Pirbright. We began to argue about the value of the Royalty but the wife put a stop to that pronto.

You will never understand, BT, because you have never served and experienced the respect for our Armed Forces throughout a lot of countries.
I also forgot to mention the splendid programme of British music that was played in the Abbey, both old and new compositions playing their part in a wonderful spectacle.

I was more concerned to here the tune the Metropolitan Police were playing Supersub6. Arresting and detaining whoever they considered to be potential anti-monarchy protesters without trial or justifiable reason.

Good to see the police doing what we pay them for once.

The police acting in the interests of those protesting to keep them safe because you don't know what threats were made by some ofthose honest, decent people who just wished to celebrate the occasion.
The protesters go in order to look for trouble, the police are there to keep order. They did so by keeping these protesters safe and away from danger. You know that, by their actions, many protesters have no respect for the law of the land, however, they still complain when they are being kept away from danger as was proved yesterday. Ask yourself, why was there no trouble? The answer is because the police foresaw possible danger and were proactive rather than waiting and having to be reactive.

A value ?

It still baffles me why you hate the royals so much the history of our great country is the royals and people / public come from all over the world for a glimpse of them or the jewels / Tower of London , castles ( all these things telling a story and having a place in history )

All these things generate money for the country but aside from that - why do you need to get rid of them so much. ?

No one / country has what we have we are unique . Interesting and obviously loved watching the coronation and the hundreds of thousands attending - I really don’t get your negativity to the Royal family at all

You either get it or you don't army88.

It's the IDEA of royalty that many of us find objectionable. That there are superior beings, superior by BIRTH to whom we must defer. To address a doctor as "Doctor" is ok because he/she has earned our respect, likewise professors etc.
