Just had a thought. It will the first Coronation not just for ITV but also Sky et al...

Correct. The last one was two years before ITV launched, so nobody in the UK except the BBC has ever covered one.

And probably fair to say nobody involved in the coverage then will be involved in it this time, other than perhaps being interviewed if they can find someone.

The excitement though across the country is negligible - whether it steps up in the days ahead will be interesting.   The interest will be from it being something most of us haven't seen before, just like a funeral for a monarch.


See the BBC have now announced some acts for the concert on the Sunday - Take That, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie seem to be the headliners.   They're still very cagey on the times with "late afternoon/early evening" the only info available just three weeks out, but as there is a segment lighting up the nations buildings it would appear it's running past sunset. I doubt public transport is that great around Windsor on a Sunday evening of a Bank Holiday weekend.
