Sadly, I have to agree with you. I was a serving soldier, under canvas in Kensington Gardens at QE2s coronation and the atmosphere and mood of the public was different from today. It was before we became a multicultural society or the internet and Britain was still a mainly a 'god fearing' country and still rallied around those that were seen as figureheads at that time. Recent shenanigans within the monarchy have left many Brits disenchanted with it. As much as I enjoy the pageantry, I, and maybe many others may start to question why the church is comes out with this mumbo jumbo of god allowing HM Charles 111 to be King. Having said that. Long live the King. I doubt I will see another Coronation. Maybe there will never be another one.
