The history, pomp and circumstance, music …

I agree, not the god part just not into religion. I was rather disgusted to hear on the radio some football "fans" were objecting to the National Anthem being played though.

I loathe football and anything associated with it and think it disgusting that hatred and or politics is brought into any sporting event. And I suppose ball kicking too. If these haters don't like it here or have objections to our Monarchy, or this countries religion, then they are free to leave.

What an ironic and contrary statement. You say you hate it when politics are brought into sporting events - maybe the fans do as well? And maybe they don’t want their game, which is totally unconnected with the coronation, tainted by playing the national anthem.

That doesn’t make them haters. It makes them the same as you. And, like you just have, they have made their feelings known.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I cannot stand football, football players, or some fans that aren’t really sports fans. But why should they leave England because someone decided to play a national anthem?

You can't just up, chuck and move to another nation (not since brexit anyway) without that nation allowing it.

I'm pretty ambivalent to the monarchy (I've met Charles and he seemed a nice enough bloke) and hate organised religion of any denomination.

Whilst sometimes I'd love to live abroad I don't see why I'm obliged to like either the monarchy or the states religion of choice. Whatever happened to free will?

Agree completely. I used to be a staunch monarchist but the current state (no pun intended) of affairs has caused me to reassess my position.

It seems I’m not alone as I’ve read hundreds of posts over the past two weeks. I think the next 10-15 years are a good time to consider the relevance of the monarchy

"If these haters don't like it here or have objections to our Monarchy, or this countries religion, then they are free to leave."

I object to the monarchy and dispute that the country is overly religious. I was born here, can trace my family back a couple of hundred years to here so my opinions are undisputedly as valid as yours. I would consider leaving if it wasn't for the amount of flag waving Little England idiots who were conned in to voting for Brexit- so they could 'take back control'...so now i've got less options available, but at least we're doing so much better than the rest of the EU now

The fans haven’t been given a choice - they are just going to watch a football match where the national anthem is being forced on them.

So it’ll be their freedom of speech to show support or not.

For such a small place like the British isles

We are a very powerful place on the world map..

People can grissle and moan about it but a lot of people have come to this country from around the world to have a better life and risk there lives to get here still...

If the structure based on the royal family wasn’t there would we just be like Eastern Europe or Africa for example where there’s been wars for god knows how long and it never seems to end..

I hope people have a nice day, but I simply can’t support or take an interest in an institution that elevates people to such an exalted status based on the vagina they happen to be fired out of.

They are the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas from Germany (nothing wrong with that) - a dynasty that’s a relic of another time. That’s before we get on to the extremely murky financial affairs, dubious morals, the shameful denial of the existence of disabled offspring (who died relatively recently) etc, etc, etc.

To be honest, I find it mystifying, depressing and repugnant that the UK remains so riven by class and deferential to people who aren’t where they are by merit.

It’s not North Korea, and it’s important that views that challenge the state and status-quo are heard. In that spirit, I take on board what those who feel differently say, and I hope the Royalists amongst us enjoy their day

I think lots of Republicans would equally argue that a lot of people who are monarchists have deep-rooted issues too. We can both play that game .

I’ve also heard massive intolerance and rudeness from monarchists too. We both play that game too.

However, I do hope you have a lovely day watching it

Oh I won’t be watching it I’m working.

I have no particular interest in it but don’t have a hatred either.

I have read your previous post and would not describe you as having a ‘hatred’ , most people don’t, they may have ‘objections’ but the two are different.

My comment was regarding some of the vehemently hateful remarks.

I also recognise that there is maybe views the other way also but they don’t tend to contain the same level of animosity

Well, I’d disagree on the last bit. I have a “posh” side of the family in the home counties who are fiercely royalist. I’ve had 50 years of them sneering at anyone who is a bit different to them on that subject (and many others).

Anyway, off to work we go .

You know, my life is my responsibility not anyone else's. As is yours.

Would anyone actually want to be in the royal family? I sure as hell wouldn't.

I neither agree or disagree with them. But I do know it's things like today and the jubilee and other stuff that I can't quite remember that is actually quite enjoyable for most people. A time to get together with friends/family and stop being moaning miserable twats and smile! Yes even me.

I don't even like Charles, I'm all for Harry being king. Now there's a ginger I'd happily do.

The historical context will look at this as the first where women have had such prominent roles.

Traditionally, there was a particular boys choir used for coronations. They were told this is the first time they won't sing to give other choirs the opportunity to include girls.

My one take away ,so far , is the display of the Union Jack. Personally It opens up a lot of questions in me , it feels it takes a royal event to see our national flag displayed by everyone proudly.

Over the past few years I have started to dislike our country and it bothers me . I look at the USA with a sense of jealousy that a nation shows heart bursting pride.Even Immigrants embrace the flag immediately, not something I see in this country . The USA has a horrendous history of treating blacks ! Still has ! U.K. had a horrendous history of racism but has slowly turned that negative racism to a better place . So suggestions of our ‘British empire’ heritage depicted in all its sordid glory-by the flag is surely unfounded .

I guess in the end it’s what does the national flag stand for now ?

As for the royal family …there was that time that Harry and William propelled the royals to a more modern approach to the population and it breathed excitement culminating In a wonderful wedding that showed a fun personality.

Unfortunately this has declined with the deaths of the queen and Phillip , the saga of Harry and the disappointment of Andrew.

Do we really need them ? Judging by the outpouring of peopke lining the streets suggests we do , although this could be a population desperate to party and smile or feel a sense of love for our country .

"For most people its once in lifetime event

If people enjoy it all the better

Not for me though

Working and no interest whatsoever

"

Once in a lifetime?

Not wishing Charles III ill, but we'll probably have another one in the next 25 years, and I hope I'm still around

"My one take away ,so far , is the display of the Union Jack. Personally It opens up a lot of questions in me , it feels it takes a royal event to see our national flag displayed by everyone proudly.

Over the past few years I have started to dislike our country and it bothers me . I look at the USA with a sense of jealousy that a nation shows heart bursting pride.Even Immigrants embrace the flag immediately, not something I see in this country . The USA has a horrendous history of treating blacks ! Still has ! U.K. had a horrendous history of racism but has slowly turned that negative racism to a better place . So suggestions of our ‘British empire’ heritage depicted in all its sordid glory-by the flag is surely unfounded .

I guess in the end it’s what does the national flag stand for now ?

As for the royal family …there was that time that Harry and William propelled the royals to a more modern approach to the population and it breathed excitement culminating In a wonderful wedding that showed a fun personality.

Unfortunately this has declined with the deaths of the queen and Phillip , the saga of Harry and the disappointment of Andrew.

Do we really need them ? Judging by the outpouring of peopke lining the streets suggests we do , although this could be a population desperate to party and smile or feel a sense of love for our country .

"

A country created by and for immigrants (at the expense of the indigenous people) offers a reason to pledge to the flag. The narrative of the American dream and their freedoms is as much a myth as their idea of equality and democracy. I observed the inculcation of shame for not showing pride in the flag, starting at nursery school. Classes start the day with the Pledge of Allegiance.

I'm glad our children are given more opportunity to think about their allegiance, but we have our own versions, and that is played out here with the rituals we observe.

Our flag is a contested thing. We see its parts at sporting events and on each nation's day. It feels like an uneasier alliance than at any other time of my life. The Coronation offers some strengthening of those alliances for some, but not all.

The world comes to big occasions, few other nations could say the same. 130 other nation's royals and Heads of States, and their partners, arrived over the last few days just for this. They did the same for the late Queen's funeral.

Manchester (she/her)

I suspect this display of wealth in a time of hardship, alongside the arrest of protestors, will only birth more republicans.

Don't worry too much about the Union Jack.

I have been out and about while all this was going on and have hardly seen any flags on premises and two on a single Range Rover.

With luck, flag waving is a dying ritual.

Think the allegiance to the flag goes back to the civil war era, but is now more of a tool to indoctrinate and provide fresh cannon fodder for the military or try to force a certain political agenda. A compliant population that follows the hallowed icon blindly is easier to control and manipulate than a population that question everything

Some of the memes here are hilarious. "74 Year old man finally gets a job after living off his mother."
