With flags and fancy hats, Canadians join the crowds ahead of King’s coronation
Canadians were joining the crush of jubilant royal fans who were converging on London on Friday, ahead of the first coronation to take place in the United Kingdom in 70 years.
Sally Harris, from Ottawa, said it was important for her to witness the moment in history. She said the monarchists are hoping to watch the coronation procession under a big Canadian flag and wave at the King and Queen Consort as they go by. A big cheer went up from the crowd when they were rewarded with a glimpse of the real thing, as King Charles and his wife were seen leaving the palace in a motorcade.
“I think give stability, and I think because I lived in Britain it’s different, they’re just such a part of the fabric,” said Paterson, who spent several years in London. “And obviously the Queen worked so hard and I really admired that.” There will also be 21-year-old Jay Patel, who was able to get a job as a cook at the CN tower through the Canadian arm of the King’s charity, the Prince’s Trust. Patel said he was stunned at the invite.
Chief Perry Bellegarde, the former national chief of the Assembly of First Nations and honorary president of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society, said it’s important for Indigenous people to witness the coronation due to their treaty relationship with the Crown.
