LIKES
the dress
the horses and carriage
the few hundred Phillip Treacy hats on display
that the couple seem very happy

DISLIKES
blah blah god blah blah religion blah blah
the boring hymns
the few hundred bad dresses on display
the fact that the london police rounded up all anarchists the night before so no protests went down
that the Royal Guard still wear bearskin hats esp when Prince William is supposedly liberal and green

I watched until the ring-going-on-finger incident. The league is less brutal.

SK -

I've got a brilliant photo of me and my bro with a Nix Scarf above a Bearskinhatted guard on duty in about Week 12 of Season 1.

Yes apparantly the crusties had banners.

I wonder if the same principle will be applied to the OK! Magazine banner parked out the front of Bucks Palace earlier on today? That's far more of a threat to the quality of society then a few Chaos UK fans

no wonder the British Economy is in such a state if someone has to pay to feed and stable all those horses that seem to be used once every 15yrs

Have you never heard of the daily changing of the guard?

These horses are seasoned performers, having made the transition from sprint to half marathon*

First of all, it was Royal Parks Gardener! Not City of Westminster, that's Council. Hmmpf.

Yes,I did use a great deal of their manure & swept after them too after ceremonies, they didn't like us using machines too much, lots of us on brooms!

Changing of the guard happens every day. In Summer it's full horse regiment & only the minimum req for Winter & it's over quicker.
Trooping the colour is actually bigger in terms of horses & they have 3 rehearsals for those. Once a regiment got it wrong & the Major made us all do it again, mid week at 03:30am!!
Changing of the Guard also takes place at Windsor Castle.

So many grumpy people on this thread.
 
Looks like it was a nice bit of a do from the pics on the web.  Most people except the anarchists were probably happy*.
 
I look forward to the televised birth of the next generation of Windsors.

Replay on TV1 now. Pretty even contest but I think Kate did enough to get over the line.

Can't wait for the return match - hopefully she does the double.

It had all the pomp & ceremony that you'd expect for the occasion. Excitement, tension and a fairytale ending where I nearly shed a tear. Yes, the Breakers won the NBL by 18 points!! What did you think I was talking about??
 
I also love how the Prince's take after their father. William is losing his hair like Prince Charles and Harry looks like a cheeky naughty playboy like James Hewitt.

UK tv replaced Coronation St with the wedding 'live', so I had no choice. I did enjoy it. Back to Coro on Monday.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Dont know if this number is official.
But tv3 said that over 2 million new zealanders watched the wedding on tv.

Just goes to show that all these people saying they dont care or they wont watch it, were lying.
This thread is testament to it.
