even some roman emperors realised their own issue wouldn't cut the mustard.
Looks like the bloke from the Beastie Boy Sabotage video.
It's composer Karl Jenkins
One time member of Soft Machine
What did I miss 😉
It’s composer Karl Jenkins
Wales' greatest ever composer of music for banks ads.
You’d get arrested for even just thinking that in London today
Now, now, we've all had to make concessions so that The Big Day goes off without incident. I'll bet Prince Andrew was told firmly that his ball and sceptre were to be kept under wraps. At least until the after party.
Penny Mordaunt
Magnificent hair. I mean, lustrous. That's leadership material right there.
Take two bottles into the shower? Not when you're packing the kind of mane that would make Simba jealous, you woke weakling.
The sheer daftness of The Big Day is getting to me, I think.
did you see floella Benjamin?!?!
No but I did ask Ant & Dec if they were ready to rumble....
Saw a fair few of the celebs as the aisle was the way to the loos.
That guy with the tash ☝️ had a massive fur coat on in the line waiting at security....
I was sat behind the choir on the blue dot roughy...
I didn't watch or listen to any of it but the question must be asked - was the theme from Dragnet considered for Charles walking up the aisle?
Karl Jenkins looks like sober Boris Johnson…

Flotilla was there? Bugger, I'm going to have to watch the coverage now.
She had to carry a sceptre? Can't remember why. Just skip to the initial procession (about 10:45am...)
I saw about two minutes of it as he left the church. Nice to see the Holy hand grenade of Antioch getting a run out.

I would have thought 'dueling banjos' would have been more appropriate.

Can anyone remember what that looks like?
somehow I’m early to everything…..
Oooh. Get reading those place cards and see if there are any obvious "she can't be sat near him" arrangements to mess with. Mind you, I doubt Virginia Giuffre snagged an invite.
The place cards were all generic - please don't take photos cards....
Doing my best Wallace & grommet grin trying not to get caught taking photos – somehow I’m early to everything…..
I like that suit. Maybe it’s the light - it it’s looking like an appropriately regal colour
My first blue suit, bought for the garden party last year, it's got a purple check which doesn't come out in the photos.
Prob won't get used for while, next wedding invite etc...

Taking a photo of a don't take photos card?
The Tower awaits.
I mean you've actually gone and done something you're not supposed to. Unlike the people arrested who, presumably, Plod though looked like they might do something.
Enjoy the quiche.
Oh, and if you see her, tell Penny Mordaunt to flick her hair even more - like Caroline Flint used to. It'll get a swoon from the gammons every time.
Nice suit, BTW.
FWIW you've been good value on this thread. 👍

Well that sort of addresses a question I had - all those elderly folk forced to sit for hours, and not everyone with a robe to hide a Nalgene bottle.
The invites all said 'limited access to toilets between 9-10 only' ..... However there were toilets at security and in Westminster abbey, initially lengthy queues from what I heard. Thankfully I've trained myself to not need a wee from 8:30-5 running my shop so Ive only just gone....
I was expecting an abbey full of adult nappies and tenor lady/man. Or lots of nervous bums on seats at least.
Did completely forget to have breakfast, only just finished lunch. And took the opportunity for a 💦😂

More first hand photos of the day please monkeyboyjc, they’re making me smile. Official coverage just tickles my cynical bone.
Empty streets at 5:45am....
Queues for security, I'm at the front, it goes over to the other side of London bridge? When we are let in.
Police playing in the adjacent play park 'looking for suspicious packages apparently' 😂
Board already - an hour of waiting
Through security
Loving the fact that the government bring in further restrictions on protests and so many seem to be blaming it on Charles. He is not the reason the government did it.
We want our land back and share the wealth.
I look forward to your explanation as to what you are going to do with your share. Just as soon as you've done some research on how successful those kind of policies have been in places like the Soviet Union, Zimbabwe etc.

More smiles…

Outside the abbey
Houses of parliament, also saw the speaker, but failed to take a photo.
Self-explanatory selfie
Press 'house' in distance
After the ceremony.
Truss hates Mordaunt.
Obvs Mordaunt makes her look dim by comparison but then so does your average pine cone.
But Penny's hair and dress sense are just so much better than Liz's. She'd look much better in Vogue too.
Soz Liz, but you were always going to be exposed in the end. 😢
Is it all over? Will I find the roads quiet on my ride before dinner?
Finally…..
were you standing or sitting after?
Sat down in Bella Italia in the photo...

At on point I did think we were going to get duel of the fates.
Am surprised my 14yr old son wanted to watch a bit of it.
I'd like to see the ceremony modernised, maybe bring the crown in by drone, lasers and fog machine in throne instead of some stone, king glides out on hoverboard at the end.

Tell me more about your analysis of the impact of expropriation of land from the Russian aristocracy on agricultural production.

Thought this was a Remco thread
Thanks for the photos monkeyboyjc, you've made an old lady very happy. Memories for you to hold onto for the rest of your life.
Thanks monkeyboyjc!
Proper republican here but always keen to see how far the tentacles of STW actually reach.
I’ll bet pistonheads and mumsnet didn’t rep at the historical freak show Coronation

Now, I'm up for a bit of letting people be what they'll be. But that's a bit obsequious.

Something about peasants not being able to get their act together unless guided by a paternalistic hand sort of thing?
