CORONATION WEEKEND

 What is real and what is fake is something I love to question. The rain last weekend for the Coronation was real but with the joy and happiness the British shared we could only be merry. There was so much to see and talk about. Weddings along the King's Road continued and I was lucky enough to be included in the wedding of Opera Singer Melinda Hughes who pulled out all the stops and found Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the wonderful car from the film that her Father Ken Hughes had directed.  I loved her dress make-up and hair. There were a few minutes of sunshine between King Charles's Spaniels parading down the King's Road and the Oathes taken by King Charles to uphold our constitution and then we all sang Zadok the Priest by Handel with gusto. Street Parties were the most amusing I dashed in and dashed out. The Royal women wore white wreaths of flowers around their heads and Princess Charlotte shone out from the crowd. It was a Coronation of "Do gooders" everybody trying to do the right thing.

Our Royal family are now confirmed social workers with enough scandal to keep the people interested. I even was lucky enough to have tea at my house for Meghan and Harry who stirred the crowd along the river banks. Don't believe all you hear they were cheered along like the rest of them. All in good humour, photographer Alison Jackson made my day with her "Truth is Dead" show famous for her look-alike paradies.
Nobody does the Royal Show like the British.
