That's brilliantly done, expect to see that adorning many twitter reply threads

I was involved, and you would’ve seen me on the tele at midday. Moment of history!

Up the Albion!

What were you doing?

And far more importantly, what were you wearing?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

It all seemed a total anachronism in today’s world … I don’t think the carpenter’s son from Nazareth would recognise all the pomp and circumstance and regalia, done in his name.
Still, the parade was worth seeing and it is mercifully over quite early so it need’nt spoil the whole day. I can watch the racing from Newmarket and the 2000 guineas later .

This, hopefully.

We just need Hiney in his mitre doing the crowning.

 

[KZNSeagull]

That was the best 3 cheers you will ever hear.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

All bloody excellent

The orbs...very big orbs

The march down the Mall was spectacular, nobody does pomp and ceremony like the Brits

 

[Zeberdi]

Driving rain and low cloud in Norfolk so no flyover for us - would have been nice to see a couple of WWII bombers flying over the house (not bothered about the other aircraft, F25s even F22s, Ospreys, Chinooks - they’re 2 a dozen in the skies here living near so many airbases!).

Restricted to choppers and Red Arrows now.

here they are: (chinook’s either side of I’m not sure what)

Making guns go bang.

Nothing special. My best Navy uniform.

Respect. Pomp is nothing without a bit of bang.

Depends on the Circumstance

Thank you for posting - that's cheered me up considerably following the election results!

 

[Hove Lagoonery]

Ffs can't they get the two sides of the procession playing the same song? It's killing the atmosphere

Would have loved to have heard them break into the right side/left side song!

 

[BrightonCottager]

All these horses need a good gallop - the rain and breezy weather’s making them frisky - Even the 8 Albion players pulling the coach are coming up with some impressive counter attacking moves.

Here's a fact for you. The horses are kept in stables almost the whole of the day, facing a blank wall so they can't see each other. If they're lucky they get exercised by volunteers or out on duty and once a year go to Norfolk for their hols and a gallop on the beach.

BZ to the Royal Navy changing from rank to file in a seamless manoeuvre.

Very satisfying to watch, having a good choreographer does wonders

exactly. I didn’t watch it, but what I did see just made me feel angry or laugh. The bit where they put screens round him while he was anointed just seemed silly.

and how much did it all cost?
