Happy And Glorious

Our local Tesco has placards at the entrance urging us to celebrate the King's Coronation. It's the first such display I've seen.

I don't follow the mainstream media anymore, so I've no idea how much effort they're putting into promoting the event. I suspect not a great deal. Charles has never fluttered hearts. He's too odd, too self-involved- and his treatment of his first wife still rankles...

The last Charles-related story I was aware of featured activists from Stop Oil shoving chocolate cake topped with shaving foam into the face of his waxwork in Madame Tussaud's.

I expect to find other things to do on May 6.

New bellringers all over England are being trained for the occasion, so that everywhere that wants ringers will have enough. This is mostly a gimmick for recruitment, but implies that lots of areas expect ringing on such a public occasion or nobody would have responded to the publicity.

If the coronation means there will be more ringers then I'm all for it.
