Coronation King Charles III and I Was There

Well of course I had to be there.
I saw King Charles III in the Gold Coach and wearing his crown and I was so happy and excited to be there. I stayed in the Mall in the cold and rain overnight to secure such a great view and these are my pictures. I had my very small stool with me but a kind Irishman found me a chair from somewhere.

The coach with the Prince and Princess of Wales and their 3 children. 

My favourite souvenir. A king Charles III tea cosy from Tea Cosy Folk UK. A bit disappointed in the souvenirs nothing like the array of souvenirs available in 1953

The cross stitch I am working on now by Bothy Threads.

And a Tapestry waiting in the queue to be stitched

I love tea sets and this is a very nice one in perfect condition made for the Coronation of George 6th. Below a rare coronation child's tea set made for the coronation of Edward VIII which never happened. almost perfect condition except for 1 cup which at some stage has been shattered and mended.
