Giant Ferraro Rochers And Wynberg High School Uniforms - Personal Opinions On The Coronation
Not because I am a Royalist, or because I am a British Citizen. I am just curious about these people. Without having looked at the numbers, I suspect the Royal family has something to do with the millions of tourists that visit a rainy Island with not much more than history, a sense of humour, and some magnificent buildings to boast about.The pomp and ceremony in the procession were unrivalled. Compare it to the Oscars – its contemporary equivalent.
The ancestors of the commonwealth troops who march alongside the regular troops must have found this spectacle terrifying – particularly when they figured out the power of the musket and the cannon against their spears and shield. And the avarice of the administrators who followed in the pith helmets.But there is nothing to fear now. The British Army isn’t even that good anymore. They were embarrassed in the Suez in the fifties and have never recovered their swagger.
There were a wide variety of outfits on show. A couple of girls dressed in Wynberg High School uniforms sang happily next to the rest. Inclusive indeed. The diversity didn’t affect the singing – it was perfect with the high notes even reaching the scale of worn brake pads pressing against a rotor disc.
Charles was attended to by a gaggle of Bishops. I thought Ainsley Harriott had segued into the priesthood until I realized the bishop in question was a female Anglican. Greek Orthodox priests performed an important initial role – presumably a nod to Phil the Greek. Rabbis, Imams, Sikhs, and Buddhists faffed around the King, handing him several ceremonial goodies – there was a sword, an orb, and something else I didn’t recognise.
