Well then?

Will you be taking your chance to swear allegiance to your new king?

What an opportunity, how inclusive , this is what a modern monarchy looks like.

It's not just for the toffs now, we can all join in.

I thought it was supposed to be the other way round.

I don't see why we have to swear allegiance to Joey Harper, but I'm up for it anyway.

For the ump****th time, I recommend this rather than watching the "spectacle":

This pretty much sums it up. Not a particularly well balanced argument from Mr Baker, more of a rant, so in short:
It's a load if self-celebratory and self-serving sh*t for a billionaire, at the cost of around £100m to the tax payer, and is sometiing that the majority of the population couldn't give a toss about. And it's a pointless ritual that no other monarchy bothers with.

God save the king.

It's all a bit Gilead.

Channel 4 last night had The Windsors Coronation special followed by Frankie Boyles take on the Monarchy- haven’t seen either yet but both will be an antidote to the wall to ****ing wall coverage that will be on every other channel this week

Harry Enfield as Charlie in the Windsor’s is genius

That is class - Always liked Enfield- never seen his bannatyne act before

Pity about Frankie- the trailer was showing promise and if his take on Royalty in his New World Order show was anything to gauge upon, hoped it would be equally as brutal

[Donanddusted]

It did keep bringing up Andrew's "peccadilloes" but I thought it lacked his usual vicious bite.
I don't think there was a single English born historian on it. They all seemed American
