I'll be watching.  I've never watched a Royal Coronation before.

I watched the BBC for the Queen's funeral. I think I will stick with the BBC. But thanks for the information, @They Call Me MR Wilkes.

The main reason being the BBC is more familiar with the entire process. I really don't want to listen to an American broadcaster talking or reading about the Coronation. I would rather hear from people who know or lived with the Royal Family or are familiar with the Coronation ceremony.

Even ordered Earl Gray Tea for the occasion.

I have no particular favorites. I like to watch all the dogs. I do enjoy when the shelter dogs get a chance to run the course.

What is your daughter's pup's name?

Thank you, it's on my calendar.............love that sort of stuff.

I'll be flipping around among all these options.  That's what I've done with the weddings and funerals.

They each have different commentators and "royal experts", so I like to hear and see as many perspectives as possible.

I'll pass. I'm tired of the royals. I'm tired of the pomp and circumstance. I'm tired of rich people spending million$, billion$, on show while so many people suffer in their own countries. 

I just can't......

Thanks for that comprehensive rundown of the coverage, @They Call Me MR Wilkes .   I'm sure I'll be sampling several of the channels as usual.  I rarely watch royal things on a continuous, sustained, start-to-finish basis-- I think the last thing I saw that way was Edward and Sophie's wedding...

But a coronation, after a long, 70-plus year previous reign, is quite the event, and I'd like to see the highlights, including the ceremonies with the ancient sceptre, and the anointing of holy oil from Jerusalem, etc.   The stuff of history. 

Fans of seriously injured war correspondent Benjamin Hall might be interested to note in your listing that he'll be contributing to the Fox coverage, as well as royal biographer Christopher Andersen, whom I like, among others.  As far as the anchors, the combination of volatile Piers Morgan and sedate, formidably prepared Martha McCallum always strikes me as funny, and entertaining to watch.

I'm 63, I might not live to see another coronation and even if I do; this will likely be the last one of it's kind.  It's history.  I want to see the pageantry of it.

she is a cavalier king charles spaniel and her name is BELLA.   (yay bella!)

[CatBagLover]

Thank for the coronation schedules, Mr . Wilkes et al! I will be watching!
