I've waited my whole life to see a monarch of England crowned. As I understand the coronation ceremony, it is truly a spectacle to behold, and carries with it traditions that date back to the days of Edward the Confessor It is.
Are you aware that the current Queen's Coronation was filmed in its entirety, in colour, and is available on DVD? The production values probably weren't as good as they would be today, but it is still spectacular.

Just out of curiosity, how does a friend of Prince Charles all the way over is Australia get involved at Free Republic?

There's no chance of ever seeing the real thing live (I suspect the Peerage will pretty much fill Westminster Abbey) so it may be the closest I ever get.
Thanks for the info.
