I rose at 3:30 AM Central Standard Time in the American Midwest to watch the entire Coronation of Charles III Live...just as I stayed up through the night to watch Charles wed Diana back in 1981. But throughout the entirety of the 4 hour or more Coronation event, THIS was by far the most stirring, the most emotional, and the most impressive part. Watching these thousands of Men and Women representing the British and Commonwealth armed forces from around the World congratulate their King and cheer for him was outstanding. Simply outstanding! Apart from the fact much of the traditional coronation event had its strict rules and procedures to follow keeping it ancient and religous. THIS however, was purely human and full of emotion. I just loved this part of the ceremony more than any other part of King Charles wonderful day. And I would imagine THIS was the part he loved most too. I just wish we could have caught a glimpse of Seamus The Irish Wolfhound at attention with the Irish Guards barking out "Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! (woof, woof)".
