And he is also going to the Sunday Concert

This is so dark and authoritarian. Dude is worth nearly £2billion, and yet we have to fund his £250m masturbatory party for himself, during a CoL crisis, no less.

would be an interesting sight if police were at the coronation in riot gear

Yes Buff it up.

Anti-monarchy groups will be allowed to protest at the King's Coronation on Saturday, security minister Tom Tugendhat has insisted.

However they will not be permitted to "disrupt others", Mr Tugendhat said.

His comments came after protest groups received letters reminding them about changes to the law targeting "serious disruption" including attaching themselves to people or infrastructure.

The controversial Public Order Act came into effect on Wednesday.

The letter, sent on 28 April by the Home Office's Police Powers Unit to groups including Republic, which campaigns for abolishing the monarchy, said that upon coming into effect on Wednesday the Public Order Act would include penalties for "specific criminal offences" including locking-on and interfering with key national infrastructure and processions.

"I would be grateful if you could publicise and forward this letter to your members who are likely to be affected by these legislative changes," the letter said.

Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, described the letter as "intimidatory" and very odd".

"We've been liaising closely with the police about the protest for weeks - we've had meetings with them," he told PA news agency.

"They've said very clearly that they have no problems with our plans. I just can't understand why the Home Office thinks it's appropriate to send a letter like that, which was anonymous in terms of no person's name on it," he said.

He added that there are plans for 1,700 people to protest in London's Trafalgar Square on Saturday.

Speaking to the BBC's Today programme, Mr Tugendhat said that anti-monarchy groups have the "liberty that anybody in the United Kingdom has to protest, what they don't have the liberty to do is to disrupt others".

Couldn't agree more.

This is what I love - the pomp and pageantry, a spectacular show which is the envy of the world, the tradition, the 1000 year history. Charles will be the 40th King crowned at Westminster Abbey, the first was in 1066. That is some record! Bring it on! :dance:

i will be busy on Saturday, pledging allegiance to the ferengi

But the Weather is Rain
on Saturday

I won't be pledging allegiance either, and I'll be busy too - having a great time at the party in the park watching the spectacular proceedings on the big screens with a beer in hand of course. :cheer2: :hee:

I'm working on Saturday, so won't be able to watch it.
Will catch up after work.

I might be off here, but it doesn't sound to me like you care much about the pageantry and spectacle.

A king appointed by god, and he can't control the weather.

this is one of the main things i can't handle. How can anyone keep a straight face when they say that Charles and Camilla have been anointed by god to defend and protect the people

They say it's a diverse ceremony, but it all revolves around the CoE which only came into being because Henry the 8th wanted a divorce

I will watch it as a moment in history, and if it is raining all the better

I'll watch it certainly.

Like jet I do actually love the pomp and ceremony of these occasions.
I may moan at the Royals but I couldn't ever see me wanting to lose the Monarchy and being a Republic.
Republics work well elsewhere, I don't think that would be the case in the UK possibly.
I certainly won't be saying any oath of allegiance.

I'm far from pleased with Camilla getting the Queen title.
Then again, that's a decision for the new King.
So good luck to them and I hope all goes smoothly on the day.

Government rushed in new protest laws, probably at the behest of Charlie boy, it’s amazing what they can and can’t do when they can be bothered isn’t it

Saw quite a bit of bunting and one huge union jack in a garden on way to Fife today

Lots of houses with bunting up around here. What a shame if it rains on all those people who have travelled to London or are attending local celebration.

Nothing wrong with that.
