Well, with all the men in dresses kissing each other, and everybody looking faaaaaabulous, I congratulate Brits on their wholehearted acceptance and celebration of trans people.

No. I'm just not a Royal Watcher, even though they are now my King and Queen. I like old hockey players and baseball players that I grew up with from my youth....much rather meet them than any Royal or Hollywood celebrity.

I respect that.

But as a Briton and seeing, live, what I've just seen today my eyes filled with tears at being British.

When it comes to pomp and pageantry, the British are very good at it, and we've proved it again today.

Our biggest day for 70 years - and it was perfect.

Just look at those horses and the carriages. Beautiful. I don't know why, but this is the type of stuff we Brits excel at.

I'm proud to be British. I don't want to be anything else.

I accept that as your acceptance of it being a wonderful spectacle.

I think you enjoyed it.

Nobody knows when it will happen again!

We're now waiting for the King and Queen to come out into Buckingham Palace garden.

Hundreds of troops give three cheers to the King and Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Whaddaya mean "we," white man?

I'm giving Blackie's worship of the Shiny Hat the contempt it deserves.
Just being honest.

Your average British construction worker is way funnier than any American stand-up comic. And the Brit musical invasion in the 70's and 80's was insane. And Blackleaf is correct...nobody knows how to put on a top-notch spectacle like they do.

Ever seen a Saturn V lift off?

Hmm. . . gotta get me one of them "Not My King" protest signs.

Cuz, see, in my case, it's not a protest. Just a fact.

Maybe all the people holding those signs should be detained and investigated on suspicion of illegal entry.

The flypast has been delayed a bit due to the weather, but the RAF is optimistic it will still go ahead, because we're British. The RAF defeated the Luftwaffe so it will defeat the rain.

Expect to see the RAF flying over Buckingham Palace as royals stand on the balcony - so very British.

Hope they don't have any ordnance hanging. Accidents happen.
