The Kings Coronation

This is a special edition for a number of reasons mainly being the subject, the Coronation on Saturday of our King apart from being our 1,038th post here reflecting what interests me as much as what personally I am about.

It was very much His day as it was his destiny born to be King,  and like his mother to have a centuries old coronation service but one where leaders of other faiths, a cross section of people by ethnic and other diversity that reflect modern Britain were in attendance, taking part.

These things usually take some planning such as the route to be taken, the nature of the procession and facilities for people who  have come to see it apart from security.

The Stage Coach wasn't used this time but a more modern much more comfortable one 

Westminster Abbey was the ultimate destination for the service and ceremony and here page boys assist keeping the train of his robe straight.

The Page Boys at ease.

A Coronation massed choir with members of boys, girls and women's choirs performed so very well.

After the service with the annotating and crowning of Charles our King but the crowning of Camilla our Queen,  they made there way back to Buckingham Palace where they went on to the balcony to wave to the public

Serving royals and children also joined as here they are looking at the fly past.

Sadly because of the rainfall the full flypast wasn't possible but a foreshortened one featuring the Red Arrows was possible as shown here.

It was a lovely service, well executed.
