King Charles III Coronation

This blog isn't directly about Joshua, Brandon or Holly, but about King Charles III who was coronated on 6th May 2023. For most people this would be the first royal coronation they have seen in their lifetime, however given the age of King Charles it is highly likely Joshua, Brandon and Holly will get to see at least two coronations in their lifetime.

Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures during our coronation celebration weekend. On the Saturday when the King was actually coronated we stayed at home and watched the event live on the TV. In my opinion the whole event was absolutely spectacular and no other country in the world is steeped in such rich history and could put on such a ceremony. I think the kids were getting a little bored during the actual ceremony and just wanted them to get on with crowning the King.

On the Sunday after the coronation we had all the family around for an English tea party celebration which was really nice. Again I didn't get many photo's other than the one of Lisa who definitely got the award for best dressed for the event. Later that evening we sat and watched the Coronation Concert which was again very amazing. The stage, lighting and drones at Windsor Castle were just spectacular with some very good live performances culminating in 3 tracks from Take That.

This is certainly an event that will be very memorable for the kids and they should feel privileged to have been able to witness a coronation.

Loved this picture which was doing the rounds on social media.
