ExSurveyor Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I will be marking it with respect but not afloat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 We are afloat from Friday. Priority Saturday morning is to find a mooring with a good TV signal. Even if you aren’t a monarchist, having the first coronation since 1952 is pretty special. Apart from anything else, I’m looking forward to the music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucket Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I will be pleased to have our new King crowned and will probably watch the main bit on telly at home, but won't be watching all day long. We are back on the boat next Thursday (11th).....I will toast the King with a pint or two of Norfolk's finest on Thursday, and Friday.......oh and Sa.......................... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 well, for the second time in the last 6 months I will spend the day watching TV, this is something I never normally do, but this is a special occasion, as was the last instance, sad indeed but special, this celebration we hope is more joyous. next trick will be to see if my tv and freesat box are still functioning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeCabby Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Sadly I’m working , and couldn’t get the day off to watch this historic event . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Having been perusing Radio Times it looks like the main TV coverage is from 10am ish to 3pm. There’s coverage before that, but will probably be the usual ‘talking heads’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 And conveniently timed to not clash with F1 later in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on the planning committee an F1 fan perchance? Seriously though, once May starts up there are so many events going on from then through to September, it must have been a nightmare trying to fix a date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 We will be watching it at home on the TV and then over to the F1 to hopefully see Max spitting his dummy out, again, because someone dared overtake him! 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 As I said we are going down to Kent it's our Daughter's birthday on Monday 8 May. Will be catching up with family. So unsure what TV we're see.I certainly wish Both the King and Queen my very best wishes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Assuming I get back home Saturday and also assuming I’ll be allowed a few hours off from home improvements at daughters place then I intend to watch it Griff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderwall Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I'm meeting a few long standing friends , going for a beer or two , then going to to the Hibs game . I then have a nice night planned with my good lady and another couple whom we have been friends with for a long time . A night in with good food , drinks and laughs . It's really just another Saturday for me . I hope everyone has lovely day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I shall walk the pooch, cut the grass and do a bit of weeding, there may be a nap after lunch. Very best wishes to the King and Queen, it's just that all the pomp and ceremony bores me to tears. I can't help it, it's nothing personal and I too hope everyone enjoys their day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I'm meeting up with campervany people at burgh castle for a blast across breydon and a beer or five hoping the coronation will keep the water quiet enough for a proper leg stretch of the engines. Not really bothered about the coronation just in it for the bank holiday.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I won't be on the Broads unfortunately but I am spending the day at my parents, it will be on the telly, I want the children to watch it because it being such an Historical event, not sure they agree with me about watching it all day though A bottle or two of Prosecco will be shared with my mum and having a take away later much to the everyone's delight Have a great day everyone x 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Tony and I will watch it on the t.v. at home. No one does pomp and ceremony like we Brits. And with so much anti establishment being bandied about these days it will be great to watch something that says something good about our great country. I'm also deliighted we will have "Queen" Camilla. That's only right and proper. Carole 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucket Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 On the beach this morning for a good walk, full english when I got home, watched the coronation from just before eleven......great pageantry and pomp! Will be watching the mighty Leeds thrash Manchester City this afternoon, then a bbq in the back garden ...... with family .... and a beer or two. Almost the perfect coronation day.........only thing missing is the boat on the Broads! That will be Thursday! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
