The Coronation
Has anyone else seen the Smithsonian/BBC special on the Coronation of QEII?
I am watching it now. I have always been fascinated by the British monarchy.
Apparently this is the first time she has publicly spoken about the coronation. Quite interesting. This seems to be quite off the cuff. They brought out the Coronation Crown and the State Crown. The handlers were quite delicate with them but she was poking at them and handling them with little like I would take a knife out of the drawer. Seems the Crowns are quite stout. The main crown was made in the mid 1600's so it's been around.
Lots of history. I'd recommend it if you are interested in the topic.
