Fair play, there some right miserable/horrible people on this message board.
For those who looked on in disbelief and horror as the Russian police arrested anti war protestors for holding up a blank piece of paper, well look on in disbelief and horror as the British police do the same. Not only a quiet and polite protestor arrested but a reported for filming it. Makes me ashamed. https://twitter.com/richfelgate/stat...ZQyp-iO2wYo4Kg
As is always the case, this Royal event was watched by a minority (a pretty substantial one as well) of the UK’s population.

20 million is pretty good , and I know loads who didn’t watch it but they still respect other people’s choices. My local community put a fair bit of effort in and it was well received with local councillors in attendance as well. A fair bit was raised for charitable causes too.
Are you aware that Members of both houses of Parliament are obliged to swear an oath of allegiance to the Crown?
By the way, please stop referring to anti-royalists as whingers and moaners. It's rather pathetic of you. At least respect the views of others. You come over as more pompous than me sometimes.
Maybe it's time to privatise the royals. Or the only public funding will be from a gofundme campaign. The royalists can chip in for the costs and the republicans can rest easy knowing public money isn't go towards them. This will probably mean the next coronation will be a cheese and wine evening in Sidcup but there won't be any heartless and unpatriotic moaning.
Why do people think being unpatriotic is an insult? It's such a relic of the past and each new generation gets less and less patriotic.
'Poverty is increasing, public services are crap, wealth inequality is sky rocketing don't criticise the status quo or you're unpatriotic'.
Incredible logic.
This article suggests the whole set up , whilst complicated, pays for itself for now but I think in the long term changes will be required.

my parents in their mid 70s didn't even bother with it this time, still it's the second highest domestic TV audience for a coronation right?
