I notice the ginger cringe isn't singing 'God save our King'. I don't know why he bothered attending.

I’ve always wondered why they didn’t cut that ruby thats in the center of the crown. Why did they keep its natural shape? It always looked like a blob to me compared to the rest of the gems, and doesn’t glitter so much…

Btw i LOVE Penny’s cape dress and hat ❤️ I was going to say the same thing. I think the colour is lovely and I like the stitched detail.

I think she has a lot of Queen Elizabeth about her. She's a lovely mix of William and Catherine. I think she strongly resembles Lady Sarah Chatto, Princess Margaret’s daughter

I got goosebumps when the parade took off. This coach is nowhere nearly as smooth as the first one but BOY is that fabulous!!!

Even through the TV you can feel the contrast from the somber parade of troops at Queen Elizabeth's funeral.
Everyone is still maintaining their military bearing, yet you can feel the positive energy and joy.

I'm amazed at the band who are playing while on horses, as well as the man who is conducting them.

Ok, mad props to dudes playing instruments on horseback.
And how well trained for the horse to move like that with a guy playing saxophone next to your head!

I'm amazed at the band who are playing while on horses, as well as the man who is conducting them. And the drummers on horseback have the reins attached to their feet! I never realized that until this morning.

He came back for the recessional. He disappeared for a good bit of time toward the end. I think he did great for being so young. I'm picturing most of the 5-year-olds who I teach at school... hahaha. Most of them can't sit still for more than .2 seconds. Of course they haven't been trained for it. lol.

I remember seeing a pic of his grandfather at Queen Elizabeth’s coronation looking bored AF! So I think he did amazing! I thought the crowd would be gathering for the balcony wave but it looks like it’s all been blocked off? This is the picture I was thinking of!! http://instagram.com/p/Cr5sn9Euat8

I loved the salute to the King by the armed services, although it rather reminded me of a Mexican wave when they did the three cheers.
I'm also not sure what was going on with the perspective, but it appeared that the people standing directly behind the man who called out the instructions were about 3/4 of the size of everyone else.

We don't follow the royal family so we had no plans to watch the coronation. However we were just having breakfast and Jeremy was scrolling through the TV channels and he stopped briefly on the coronation and said, "Man, they have nice grass. Not a bare spot in that whole lawn!" 🤣 And then he scrolled on...
