"I have been wanting to see a coronation for a very long time. So I'm actually kind of thrilled, thrilled to be here," said Susan Mathisen. The British consulate in New York organized the watch party. Attendees came dressed for the occasion. Many wore hates and fascinators.

For many people, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a coronation. The last one we did was 70 years ago."

It was all in black and white," said Michaels."My parents telling me to behave and watch it, because it's a piece of English history."
