I love all weddings. I didn’t catch it, but remember Prince Charles wedding. Our school dance was themed The Royal Wedding and we all dressed as brides and grooms. laugh

I wonder if any schools did that for this event. happy

Some schools did this yes, and many town's had street parties.

That’s great! It nice for the kids to feel a part of a big world event. That’s how it made me fee anyway. happy

Yes, that's what it's all about and they definitely succeeded in that :thumbsup:

They estimated that around 1.9 billion people around the world watched it!
Not sure how they do that but television companies have ways!

Just seen a brief part of the wedding on our local news. They both looked wonderful! :heart:

I had my own beautiful day with breakfast out and later a movie. Not any comparison to their day but Grand for Me. :smile:

No, there blood is blue laugh
That's easy for you to say eric laugh
Did you see the end where he drives off in the old e type jaguar? Left hand drive too!

Yeah, now you mention it... he got in the right side of the car, which is left :) We all do that over here. Quite comfy, haha

That's the wrong side for us, I thought she was going to drive at first laugh

Yeah, it is confusing, you guys getting it wrong. I have driven in the UK when in my mid thirties, in my own car. Hated doing those friggin' roundabout the wrong way round. That got me quite messed up in the head, lol.
I don't think I'd dare do that anymore now. And definitely not in a 'wrong' car. It helped in a way I was driving my own car as ppl spotted I was a foreigner and put the breaks on, haha.
I was picked up in Hull by my friend so I could follow him home. B@st@rd took off on his motor bike the speed of light, I couldn't/daren't keep up. Lost him before we got to Leeds. I was so amused, not.

I think Charles should skip it and pass it to William, but doubt that would happen.
Prince Philip looks really frail now, the queen is doing good for 92!

Indeed he should skip it. Hadn't he married that tw@t it would've been different.
I actually was surprised to see Philip looked so good? I mean, the man is 97, bloody 'ell! I felt the queen was looking old. Liked her dress and the colour, but she was quite bent over, an old lady. And still ruling the country at that age, christ all mighty... But yeah, she's a bit like a robot anyway. In a sense I can admire what she sacrificed to serve her country, in another way, looking back how she dealt with people throughout life, and esp Diana, even after the woman died. Then reading and hearing how both William and esp Harry suffered for years on end because of their mother's death, and the queen is big part of that happening.
Her sacrificing her own life was her choice, but it came at the expense of a helluva lot of suffering for others who were never given that choice.
I hope if she snuffs it people will think about that as opposed to suddenly seeing her as this wonderful queen. And sorry to say, but maybe they should air Diana's funeral instead of hers, just as a reminder how much pain she's caused.
Time for young blood, a generation of royals with a :heart:

making me laugh crystal .. though it would be wonderful to see William as the next king of England .. I think Charles is counting the days till he sits on the throne ...

As for Elizabeth .. she is not just a queen and despite what others see as her faults ...i would hope when the time comes for her funeral .., it will be a tribute to her life and have meaning for those who mourn her loss waving

Waste of tax payers money.



Only thing taxpayers are footing the bill for is security.
