There have been some details released about what will happen during the coronation weekend:

Hoping it's nice weather! Either I'll have my bunting up in the garden or if it's wet or cold we'll be doing all of our celebrating inside!

Concert and block parties really appeal to me.

Hoping weather cooperates!

Love how the British do these grand events. Looking forward to it!

Oh I wonder if that carriage will be used (I assume it still exists). It is so fancy!!! Maybe too fancy for the modernizing he wants.

Wasn’t alive for the last one so I am looking forward to seeing a Coronation in real time.

I’ll be watching it. I was three when Queen Elizabeth’s coronation took place. We certainly didn’t have a television then. I remember street parties and have some mementos. A coronation mug and a miniature carriage and horses. Just realized that these items are 70 years old.

I'm sure I've read that the gold coach that was used for Queen Elizabeth II coronation ( and that featured in the platinum jubilee) is going to be used.

At least the Dutch golden carriage gets used every year, you just have to cover up or replace one of the historic pictures of the side and it's good to go!

What's the difference between a carriage and a coach, btw?

I have no idea! Maybe both terms are used interchangeably

Looking forward to watching as much as I can.

I'll be watching with a friend of mine. She's planning to come over in the middle of the night and we'll have tea and sweets.

I'll say "one is made from a pumpkin"...

It will be nice to have a joyful occasion to witness. I watched a lot of the queen’s funeral but it was so sad.

I hope I will be able to watch, since my tv is antenna only. They covered the Queen’s funeral on the networks, so I am hoping they do the same with the coronation.

And I hope they don't! Couldn't they pick one network to show it so everyone else who doesn't care can get on with their lives? Maybe stream it online instead?

It's a historic event. It's going to get plenty of coverage.
Still, I bet the not interested will be able to get on with their lives. Netflix? HBO?
Save some episodes of your favs to the DVR?

It’s going to be probably at 11 am uk time so that’s 6am US East Coast time. Pretty easy to avoid it especially if you’re in the US.

There will likely be extended coverage.

Lights, lasers and drones. Cool!

I've always thought a coach was an enclosed carriage.
