The spin they put on these things is laughable really.

This is the 21st century not the middle ages. Loyalty and allegiance are earned not given without question.

I was always prepared to cut the late Queen some slack because she'd demonstrated that she could at least hold up an end a la Jack Leach.

My attitude towards the Royals had always been one of studious indifference but my patience with the whole circus is at an end.

Unswerving allegiance to anyone is a bad idea and accepting that somebody is better than you purely by virtue of their birth means you may as well hold up a sign saying, 'Exploit me please, because I have surrendered all my judgement."

I have zero interest, Saturday will be spent at Harlow parkrun, catching up with Fetchies, bit of shopping and maybe a long walk.

I am the same, Mrs J. Also zero interest. For me it'll be long run in the morning and weight training session in the afternoon.

I will be at the theatre in the evening seeing Rosie Holt. I expect comment from her and a little departure from whatever the rest of the tour is covering

Nope, not for me. Day off (which means no income) but other than that it will pass me by. If I had the courage of my convictions I'd attend a protest march. :-) G

parkrun then round to a friends for afternoon tea to watch ceremony. Not a Royalist but enjoy the pomp & parades. And an excuse to eat cake! And get a day off on Monday :)

My local parkrun RD has suggested "red, white and blue". I shall conform.

So will you be waving your little union jack and pledging your allegiance and scoffing coronation chicken or quiche at a street party?

Or ignoring the whole bloated exhibition of flummery and forelock tugging to inherited privilege and finding more important things to do?

I'm in the latter camp :-)
