Those horse-drawn carriages are kept in mint condition and add a special flourish to the magnificent procession.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594795794677984027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492893503803541461.post-60312452976946169892011-05-01T18:19:03.664+01:002011-05-01T18:19:03.664+01:00I watched it all on television in the United State...I watched it all on television in the United States. <br /><br />It was all I expected it to be and then some. Though Britain is a thoroughly modern society, I sometimes felt as if I was watching something from 1811 instead of 2011! The ride down The Mall in the open carriage was especially beautiful. <br /><br />Tragic events in the United States put American commentators at a loss as to how much coverage to give to this event without appearing trite. I hope to see Prince Harry wed soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492893503803541461.post-30420600950428024742011-05-01T17:19:50.549+01:002011-05-01T17:19:50.549+01:00Thank you!

I knew you had little interest in the event so I'm flattered that you like this post.<br /><br />It would have been nice to participate in the festive mood but I think you're right about how going to such an event can turn into a real trial. Anyway, I enjoyed watching the whole event from the comfort of my sofa!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594795794677984027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492893503803541461.post-74164663472517297562011-05-01T09:06:03.882+01:002011-05-01T09:06:03.882+01:00What an excellent post of the days happenings!
Al...What an excellent post of the days happenings! <br />Although I really had little interest in the precedings I have to say that it was a wonderful day enjoyed by so many people. <br />I think that you were better off at home as going to an event like that can be a real trial, and end up rather disappointing.<br />It was a faultless display of a ceremony and all the associated pomp that we do so well. <br />I agree with your last paragraph!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
