The Coronation of King Charles III

[coconochanel]

With only a few weeks to go until King Charles coronation corrination I thought I'd start a thread. Is anyone having a party?, watching it on tv? going to the concert etc?

 

[L3moning]

I've booked the week after off work because of the extra bank holiday, so I only need to use 4 days of holiday.

I'll probably have it on in the background while posting on Tattle, as I did with the Queen's funeral.

My family are having a get together and all bringing a bit of food.

I'm going to watch it and I expect my mum will as well, for the histroical signifcance. My mum was born one year after dear old Liz was crowned so missed that, and I was born in 1983 so this is my first chance to see such an event.

Not aware of any street parties locally but it would be fun to experience one if there was.

 

[laughing]

I will watch the actual ceremony at the Abbey.

I won't watch the rolling 12 hour news coverage that will be on every channel.

I’ve got a wedding to go to that day so will miss the whole thing!

I'm working till lunch time so I'm going to record so when my mum gets here we can watch together when I'm home and I'm making afternoon tea same as we did for the platty joobs. I'm prepared this time I have bought Mr kiplins scone and vicky cake mix and I couldn't get either last time. I'm actually quite looking forward to it

Hoping to have afternoon tea in the garden. I bought a cake stand and some pretty mis matched china from the charity shop for the jubilee.

Hidden away two boxes of these from Aldi they make it!!

Would have made me laugh if the best before date was before the coronation!

My mums street is closed for a street party, we did the same for the Queens jubilee last year and it was lovely. I am not an overly massive fan of Charles (team Diana forever), but it's still a huge moment in history, and I want my little one to partake in all the festivities!

I've ordered an afternoon tea for 1 to be delivered on the day, got some fizz from Windsor Castle on my recent trip, plus some cake flavoured tea and a £1 flag from a tat shop outside gonna wear me a tea dress and be all British about it lol

 

[Ensay]

I’ll watch the coronation itself on TV but that’s about it. There aren’t any street parties round here.

If the weather's good we might go to the local funday / party thing at the park.
It'll be on in the background if we stay home.

I’m hosting a garden party for all our friends and family (weather permitting)
It’s my first time hosting something like this and I can’t wait!
hoping to do a big bbq with lots of delicious sides! Also going to make a huge Victoria sponge.

I got Costa's email abou their coronation sandwich + Flowerboxes Coronation flowers. Do I need the M&S cufflinks too?

 

[smellsofbiscuits]

Nothing. The local community group has organised some fun fair rides for the kids. May pop down if it's not pissing down with rain.

That's about the extent of our participation in this household.

I quite like things like this, but I always feel a little as if I am admitting a dirty little secret when I do so

We are seeing In The Night Garden live (which will be fascinating I am sure) but I hope I will catch some, I do like looking at Kate’s outfits.

 

[Kate1970]

Will be watching on television

 

[hehehe]

I'm getting my hair done that day.

 

[MrsSlocombe]

I can't wait! Will be watching on television or a live stream and it will be a late night as I'm on the other side of the world. I want white gowns and tiaras (including a little tiara for Princess Charlotte)
