Fisherman Mike Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I must confess to watching the Royal Wedding Cerimony (and having 50 quid ew..at 4/1 on Royal Wedding at Fontwell 30 minutes ago. ) I must admit I rather enjoyed it...Question is...Do I need Therapy..? Whether you are interested or not it illustrates that when Royal pageantry is involved the Brits are still the best in the World. Theres no doubt that the event has been a huge morale booster for the public and I wouldnt be suprised a significant shot in the Arm for the UK economy.

Blunderbuss Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Mike, despite getting a bit grumpy about it (the OTT coverage on every channel, not the event itself) I did partially repent. I spent the day in the garage working on a motorcycle restoration project and listening to the Radio which happened to be tuned to radio 4 and......... the wedding Good luck to them, and I'm sure it hasn't done the economy any harm Edited April 29, 2011 by Blunderbuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I also listened to it on Radio 4 and have watched the highlights on this evening's news. It was a great event and went like clockwork. Nice to see so many people on the streets peacefully enjoying themselves and causing nobody any harm.

Vince Green Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) We went up there last night for a walkabout god it was buzzing even then. Thousands of people camped out, pop up tents everywhere and the drink was flowing big time. I can't imagine many people got much sleep but what an atmosphere. The party was well under way when we left about 10pm The thing I was most amazed at was the number of Americans and Canadians lining the route*. You saw the flags and heard the accents everywhere. It was good. No trouble, no bad scenes just millions of happy people. * And Germans, the Germans regard our Royal Family as their own. Which historically of course they are! More so than British really. After the wedding the Lancaster flew over our house, that was great to see too.

Vince Green Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 and her sis is very nice bet little harry has her on the throne tonight He has better stay away, I have plans for my oldest son Matthew in that direction. But yes, lovely. The Middletons did a good job today. They just pitched it about perfectly given that they are commoners and anything they do will be subject to endless scrutiny. Not as easy call for them but they handled it beautifully. Credit where credit is due, they did well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Yes, it was lovely darts all round. I was strangely drawn to Eugenie and Beatrice - I was fascinated by the daft head gear, panda eyes make up and their vacant expressions but was strangely drawn in - big knockers and not likely to say "no" will do for me any day.

mick miller Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Well I'm no royalist but I thought it was very enjoyable. I love the fly pasts too as the route is right over the top of my house. Just have to run outside when I see it on the telly and wait for the low throb of those mighty engines to fill the air. Top stuff! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
