The picture has nothing to do with the coronation. We didn’t go to London, we did spend most of the day in front of the TV, eating some of the things that we shouldn’t. Well, we don’t do it often.
As usual, the ceremony was superbly conducted. Of course not everything went according to plan. You can’t really account for the actions of horses. One of the large kettle drum shires wanted to March sideways for at least part of the route, and apparently one soldiers horse wanted to investigate what happens when it crashed reversing into the crowd barriers. I’m not sure but I don’t think anybody was injured beyond a loss of dignity.
The ceremony itself was fascinating to watch, I loved the music, Zadoc is particularly impressive, and Holst’s Jupiter I always find quite emotional for some reason.
It was for us a very lazy day. I will try and make up for that by going for a walk tomorrow.
