Found it my answer

Second bottle. Lots of toasts.

 

[Jangles]

Page 39 of the order of service. Are you ready?

 

[Jangles]

Where has Prince Louis gone?

 

[Jangles]

Then page 44.

Where has Prince Louis gone?

He wasn't expected to remain for the whole service, I understand.

Imagine being responsible for the cue cards today. I can see how that person had nightmares about dropping them and mixing up the order.

I figure the person in charge of the Crown Jewels has been sweating bullets for days. All of the goodies are out of the tower for the first time in forever. I bet he or she is down at the pub tonight after it's all locked up again knocking back a few. I know I would be!

I imagine everyone involved will get a good night’s sleep tonight. They probably haven’t slept well in weeks!

I just can’t get over how long she’s been standing there, holding that sword, not moving in heels

 

[NotUrsula]

The woman in Teal dealing with the Swords is Penny Mordaunt, leader of the House of Commons and President of the Privy Council. Very prominant politician; she narrowly missed becoming PM twice last year. She was Boris Johnson's Minister of Defence, and is a Naval reservist (which she said in interviews was very helpful training for handling those swords.)

They're preparing to march down the Mal... flags from every reach of the Commonwealth are flying. Nice touch

I thought those were interesting to see, especially considering how many of the Caribbean countries are on their way out of the Commonwealth.

Some countries are considering dropping the King as their head of state but that doesn't mean they will leave the Commonwealth.
The majority of Commonwealth members are already republics.

Louis returned. Look at that carriage!

 

[Jangles]

Disney is Disney. We save, we plan, we queue. Some worship. Cinderella is Disney; this is Royalty. The reason ‘democracy’ is different in the U.K. than in the USA is the monarchy. God Save the King. And yes I have been drinking champagne since 10am.

 

[mamamia2005]

Have loved watching.
We toasted our new King with Champagne when the crown was put on his head.
Little Louis has done so well sitting there all that time. I think he maybe got fed up of waving as he looked it by the time they pulled into Buckingham palace!
Kate and Charlotte look stunning, as does Sophie.
Very proud to be British today

They have just announced that the weather has improved to the point where the planned fly past of sixty aircraft will take place and is scheduled for 2:30.
