i love how diverse we as a nation are ,
and that includes the monarchy & religious types,
i dont think i would want it any other way .
im proud & fortunate to live in such a society
My take on it was that it was interesting to see some parts that had been done for hundreds of years etc., but expectedly a drawn out affair.
I'm neither pro or anti monarch. Although I'm largely against being born into such luxury, it's always been that way in life anyway. And despite the benefits they have, I can only imagine how difficult having a personal life can be when your every move is reported on. They bring in more for the economy than is given to them, so overall a positive in my book.
Getting an extra bank holiday out of it is always a winner for me too.

Would you have preferred West Ham fans not to sing the national anthem today considering it is a hymn? Even despite the overwhelming majority of fans partaking?

One observation from the concert... why on earth are they singing you'll never walk alone 24 hours after the scousers booed the national anthem?
It would've been more appropriate, had they replaced the words..
Fuckin' 'ell. Just saw a picture in today's 'Sun and Holy mother in heaven, there is a silhouette of The Grim Rieper himself waking behind the altar at St Paul's Cathedral. Sent shivers down my spine Brrrr.. I can't download pictures on here but grab yourself a copy and there he is. Cripes !
