Yes, people here are in a festive mood.
I can't see why everyone is happy when petrol (gasoline) is $9.16 per US gallon. Fortunately, my rental car is a diesel that gets 50MPG.
I was 8 and saw the coronation on our new TV. All I remember is the the heavy crown. It was pretty amazing event at that age. A New Queen...and it’s 70 years later.

I was in London two weeks ago, and the celebration preparations were really getting going. The excitement was everywhere! They needed this boost after the tough pandemic experience.
Been looking at pics from the British enemedia.
So far the vast majority of crowd pics are tight shots.
I suspect turnout for this may be underwhelming.
”...70 years on the throne...” That’s the worst case of constipation that I’ve ever heard of.
The queen and whole inbred family should abdicate and let the country move on. Shame on Americans for in any way supporting or celebrating their continued rule.
Pierce Morgan cant stop complaining about Harry and Andrew. They’re not there so shut up about them. It’s not about them. After that... I was pleased to have watched the pageantry and precision of the celebratory court. It was pretty amazing. Good point was made that corrupt republics are replaced by monarchies and when the monarchy goes corrupt it swings back to the republic.
A nice interlude
We stopped giving a damn about the royals in 1776.
A what a coinkydink update...
Who’s singing “God Save the Queen”?
Johnny Rotten?
Charlotte is going to be even more beautful than her mother. She also has very graceful gestures.

Things I’m still curious about...
Was a former head of MI5 seated behind the Harkles at St Paul’s? And if so, why?
And did Markle get caught wearing a wire at the service? If anyone wonders why I wonder, watch the vid from when she left the car til she got to the top of the stairs. What the heck was she doing with the collar of her trenchcoat/dress..?
