What a wonderful day it was.
Typical. They took my photo just as I happened to be looking up at the photographer.
Still, it gives an idea of where I was sitting, with H behind me to my left, and Kate in front to my right. I couldn't have asked for a better seat.
Personally I found the service a tad long, but the music and pageantry were fantastic. I didn't wear my ermine as I thought it would have been too warm.
What were my favourite bits? Well, the page boys all behaved impeccably, and the invitees all followed their instructions to the letter. Bryn Terfel and Rod Williams both sang beautifully. There was just one glaringly flat note from someone amongst the choir's sopranos, but that we forgive.
A grand day out!
Haha. Nice of you to keep an eye on Harry and Andrew.
ReplyDeleteI was asked!
DeleteBefore the service began, I saw you turning round to talk to The Spare. I presume you were giving him a piece of your mind about his whingeing and his wife.
ReplyDeleteI only spoke two words, the second of which was 'off'. Did you hear the ripple of applause?
DeleteYou looked very smart.
ReplyDeleteThank you. One does one's best for such occasions.
DeleteOh, I'm so glad everything went well. I was truly concerned that you would run into Harry and give him such a tongue lashing that he would wind up writing about it in his next tell all book. I imagine that the organizers were concerned as well, paying careful attention to seating arrangements.
ReplyDeleteI told him to "Get behind me Satan", and he obliged.
DeleteIt was fun to watch, the first in my lifetime for millions of us.
ReplyDeleteQuite a show. We won't see another like it!
DeleteThe King and Queen must be very pleased with the day. You look quite smart, sitting front and center.
ReplyDeleteThank you. They were very kind with my seating.
DeleteHmmm, I have several newspaper pages of the coronation photos and they seem to have photoshopped someone else's head where you were.
ReplyDeletePeople will do anything these day for attention.
DeleteI must say you scrub up very well Cro. Very distinguished - and is that Lady M next to you?
