Because it was an excellent performance

It's an odd phrase, isn't it? We show praise with applause, signalling our appreciation of the virtue we have witnessed.

" 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. "

An amazing ceremony.

Considering very few, if any of the service leaders will ever have done this before, its incredible.

So many of the "old tradtions" of the service changed for the modern world.

I've never seen a coronation, nor am I likely to see another.

It's both emotional and moving.

I like that this element of the Communion Mass is there. It makes it all more familiar to people - in the old days almost all present would have known it.

I don't like her either but I agree she's had one of the most difficult tasks in terms of endurance.

"The Royal family must have bladders of steel.

I was thinking that. Queen Victoria complained before her coronation about the lack of toilets in the abbey.

I was thinking I'd have to not drink anything beforehand and wear an extra absorbant Tena Lady.

They barely had time for a loo break before facing the troops. Anne was out there with the troops, but I suppose she gets lots of practice with the number of visits/events she gets through a year.

I automatically assume every woman my age and older has the same bladder issues I have.

"

My problem is excess capacity! I can hold it for aaaaaages (but it's not healthy )

"How the fuck is someone trying to play the tuba while sat on a horse....

One doesn't ride with one's hands. A proper rider rides with their seat. You can jump, canter etc very effectively with no hands. "

To ride with no hands is one thing. To try doing it while reading music and trying to play a bloody tuba is quite unbelievable, what incredible skill, I am in awe.

Thought the Ascension Choir doing Halleluiah were a nice touch, and embraces the diversity of our nation. Mind you, it's prompted some inevitable moaning.

I agree it's a skill not to be underestimated. Playing any instrument is a skill that requires concentration to do it on horseback is something else

I honestly think they'll have memorised the music. My Grandad was a Drum Major in the army and he pointed out to me that you don't often see musicians turning the pages during a parade. The music pages are part of the "scene". But yes, playing whilst riding is a difficult thing to do.

Yabusame. Riding on horseback, very fast, no hands, firing a bow and arrow at a small target.

Playing a tuba is pretty fuck'n impressive though.

Should have been 'Queen Consulate' but I'm now informed that all that has changed.

Rougher than a badgers bottom.

First cigarette I ever smoked, pinched one off my gran when she wasn't looking.

Never pinched another one.....
