London Transport reckon 3 million people viewed the 1953 coronation in person. I'd be surprised if yesterday's total exceeded that by much - certainly not enough to affect the proportion of the population as a whole who watched it. My apologies. I meant to write "I do NOT argue with you " etc. Don't know what happened to the no !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note these protesters also included several just stop oil morons who clearly not there to protest anything to with the coronation were they? Besides, there were several thousand protesters in London, Glasgow and Cardiff yet only 52 were reportedly arrested. To me, that's not the 'authorities blocking people's right to protest'. That's the police doing their job to stopping law breaking and public disorder disruption. It's what they are there to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve watched the coronation service today and I thought it was emotional especially when Charles said, I came not to be served but to serve, or something similar. pleased I managed to watch some of the pageantry on a large public screen, it was a lot better than watching it on TV. I'm sure he sincerely means he wants to serve. He founded the Prince's Trust some years ago and much has been done by the organisation to help young people coping with problems. Some of them were guests at the Coronation Service apparently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ignore ECCO Nob most of the time, and more so when he starts Fibbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a possibility - just like any other person arrested on suspicion of an offence. That's up to the police to investigate, authority to prosecute and/or courts to decide. What's your point? Still looks to me like police doing their job. Edited May 7, 2023 by ECCOnoob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a success The Prices’s Trust has been. It must have helped thousands of young people turn their lives around. I didn’t know some of them were guests at Coronation Service.
