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.

You are all ready to celebrate the King’s Birthday Public Holiday with the tea sets and the wonderful tea cosy. Fantastic that you got to London and watched the Gold Coach go by. Well deserved after a night in The Mall. Helped by a friendly lrishman, what great memories.

Great photos. A front row position worth an overnight wait. Love the tea cosy. Cross stitch and tapestry will keep you busy for a while. Another amazing adventure done and dusted.
