Of course I can't remember it! In 70 years I have NEVER seen a change in the monarchy, which is astounding to me. We in the States have a "changing of the guard" every 4 years. I thought it was pomp and circumstance appropriate for the tradition, and it seems the Brits feel the same way.
i’m only watching a few minutes at a time of various clips, but I have to confess that I got teary-eyed when the procession to the coronation came rolling along with all of the royal carriages and with Anne, The Princess Royal,, leading the military group in “protection of her brother. “

on a snarky note, I was happy that Anne’s big red feathered hat blocked Prince Harry’s view quite extraordinarily well when they were sitting in Westminster abbey.
