We haven't had it over here, although I did hear a snippet (2 sentences) on a midday radio news.

I watched too. The sound in Westminster Abbey must have been amazing when those

drummers were playing. Shame so few people could be there to appreciate it.

A lovely service in difficult circumstances.

Von .......
I'm glad to hear that. I hoped there would be something to really remember about it.

I know I shouldn't say that I found it just a bit of a cynical celebration of all that diversity.

Unfortunately, I can't hear the speech since a recent power outage/surge fried my internal speaker. I'm stuck with the closed captions and no music.

... and no internet, phone or cable immediately after I typed the above. Do we all hate our ISPs?

You remember me. :)

Joonie .............

Thank you for that, although I have one rule ...........

I never watch videos, on YouTube, FB or elsewhere.

Sorry about your connection problems. I had my computer die on me last year, now I have a brand new one, with all kinds of bells and whistles that I know nothing about ........... but OH seems unable to stay connected to our joint WiFi or printer.
