King Charles' coronation: What to expect on historic day

#7  I watched th entire BBC coverage, 4.5 hours, and aside from 2 wide shots of the Royals in attendance, never saw Harry except in the 4th row back. Great coverage of the parades and the massed formation behind the palace to cheer the new King was magnificent. Commentators were entirely audio only until the end.

The I looked at the ABC coverage, and Harry was much more prominent early on, as was an amazing percentage of the coverage with split screen so the commentators could be seen endlessly, and the insistence of ABC to make the commentary DIE was apparent. Sad that they felt the need to "woke up" something that had nothing to do with modern social transformation.

#6  So, Chuck swore on a Bible. Did he get a fatwa from his ayatollah, or will the oath to muzzizm be sworn in private?

#4  Great show. I am very proud and happy to be an American. But I will say that no one does pomp and ceremony like the Brits. Hats off to them!

#3  /\ No it is not "bad." When they have completed their tasks in London, they can immediately come here.

#2  Is it bad to hope Extinction Rebellion decides to rush the carriage en masse and becomes...extinct?

Plus it'd be funny to see them try and get mowed down by the SAS posing as cops.

And you can be sure that the SAS is there to ensure it goes nice and smooth.
