Not sure of what you are saying above, but I'm in favour of the monarchy.  Now there's no real well thought out reason, because there are as many pro's as cons.  We are no more and no less democratic for having an hereditary head of state (IMO), and as we have seen today, there has been a great show of support and celebration today.  I was in Comet at 10 o'clock, and was the only one in there.  Likewise the roads were empty, and this has been suggested as a non-event that people are simply not bothered about any more.  I'd suggest that we are interested, but not willing to proclaim it.  Josh is at a street party, the people opposite are having a party.

I did my ironing.  That's how I celebrate.

it was quiet cos folks were still either asleep or were fixing theri coacoa for the big event... the atmosphere did change subsequently

i strongly disagree that we are democratic though there has been a role that the monarch has in state stability from the civil service aspects including police and army... maybe i didn't make it plain that by blue i meant there were more tory political persons than non tory political persons a bit reminiscent of what a royal wedding might have looked under Queen Victoria and before... in that sense you can invite as many commoners as you like and there weren't that many.... it makes no difference to the accepted model of who under the divine right of kings deserves to decide stuff ...  ie gets the invites to garden parties etc......    i hadn't really thought about it until i saw the list...

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
