Greetings ladies and gentlemen. Today is [b] May 6.[/b] First Saturday of the month. The [b] Kentucky Derby[/b] 🐴 is today also. So please do not miss that. 😛 Anyway [b]King Charles [/b] was crowned recently. The ceremony was a bit odd but understood. What do you think about this event? Comments.

Well given that (other than it being in English (and some Welsh and Gaelic), and music being from across about 9 centuries, plus a few minor revisions that have crept in over 100s of years), it's more or less the same thing that has been done in that [u]exact[/u] spot since 1066, and using (again, with a bit of evolution over time) the same service since about 871 (and probably earlier)...yeah some of it looks odd.
But ignore all the frippery and (even if one can) ignore Parry's and Handel's coronation anthems, and it's bloody brilliant.
