The weather's miserable here so I sat and watched the whole thing this morning. As you say, William's children were the stars of the balcony. Little Louis looked just like George at that age and Charlotte seemed to be waving at everyone.

At least the weather down there was kind to the soldiers on parade.

We were out at a garden centre as it is dry and bright here, if a little windy. I think the highlights are on this evening so I expect we will watch it then.

I have not seen it but I think Louis looks like Michael Middleton and Charlotte like Princess Margaret.

I don't often mention spelling errors, we all make them ......... but that just seemed so funny!

As Island said, horses go trip trop.

and I see one guardsman actually fell off his horse!

Sylvia and Ann, I'm going to watch it on catch-up - in case I miss the fall (I am not always observant as my OH knows) where did it happen?

Poor guy, I bet he is feeling a bit embarrassed at the moment. <3

It doesn't matter about Tropping as we all knew what you meant.

Yes, Barbra, salt lifts your blood pressure; you can keel over if it drops too low, as I know to my cost.

Watched a bit of the programme - the Queen coughed a couple of times and was it my eyes or did she sneeze in her carriage?
