According to the BBC weather forecast for Saturday there's a good chance of rain from 08:00 onwards throughout the rest of the day.

Not much adulation from the football fans at Anfield as, to the tune of "she'll be coming round the mountains" they sang 'You can stick yer coronation up yer arse' but it was only from one section of the crowd.

Was that where Harry was sitting?

Harry is an Arsenal fan

It was strange that for many years both the team & the manager had names that started with Arse.

I don't get it...
Why on earth would you be happy if it rains!!
People have organised many events across the country..
Street parties.. fetes.. Children delighted to be dressing up..
So many things going on..
We have been through an Epidemic.. Fuel and cost of living crisis.. Chaos in Parliament..
Even if our celebrations are about enjoying ourselves and not really about a Coronation why would anyone be happy to see rain!!
I would rather see the country celebrating a new Monarch then being downtrodden by a dictator.. That would certainly give people something to moan about..

Well yesterday was a good start.

I reckon the thread title might need changing to Get the Packamacs out. Lol

The rain doesn't stop them coming.. The trains and tubes are heaving..
We , as a country , do pomp and ceremony like no other.. People come from all over the world to be part of it..
I know some do not like it.. They would be happy with a dictator.. a WEALTHY one.. Be careful what you wish for.. Change isn't always for the best..

And an absolute snip for the tax payers at only £250 million!

it rained last time, as well!

With TV rights and foreign visitors, we will make a profit out of the Coronation, like we did when the Queen's funeral and Jubilee went across the world.

And not a bloody pot hole in sight !!!
