I'm from the U.S. and I realize that a trip to the U.K. is expensive, but I kinda wanna see the festivities going on for Charles' coronation. I know I probably can't get in the church where the actual coronation takes place, but maybe in the surrounding areas there will be parties or something like that?
I know I have a few months to think about it and plan if I'm going...most likely I won't because again, money is an issue.
Probably can’t is the biggest understatement regarding getting into Westminster Abbey during the coronation.
There will be a procession though London though that you could watch, and the royal parks will no doubt have the big screens set up.
I honestly think it'd be more fun to watch the coronation live on TV, than to go to London and pay a fortune for a hotel and fight crowds for tiny glimpses of the happenings. But that's me, some people like being part of crowds, and I hate crowds.
I definitely want to see the business on TV, particularly where the new sovereign strips down to simple white before having the crown placed on their head. What a weird and archaic bit of ceremony! I mean there may well be another coronation in my lifetime, but it's not like I've got a lot of decades left.
