Midnight here and I have been watching the build up on Fox who are relaying British Sky TV. Very exciting! Been watching for 2 hours at this point. I hope I can stick with it.

I'm actually jumping between BBC News Channel on the net and Sky on TV and I feel really lucky to watch everything.

If you are up check out Fox TV for coverage.

It's 11pm here and I too am watching TV coverage. I plan to stay up all night to watch. I'd better put the kettle on!

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Are you guys getting the coverage of all the parties in the different parks and the fun of people arriving in the train stations to London all dressed up and waving flags or just the more serious news coverage?

No. :thumbdown: But lots of good stuff. Apparently the chairs in Westminster Abbey that the Royal Family et al will be sitting on were donated by Canada on July 1 1949 in honour of those fallen in the war.
On the foot of the Tv screen they are streaming messages from Canadians as part of an online guest book.
I'm flipping between CBC and BBC World.
Just heard that they will become the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Yes, that's Sarah Burton (designer).

We are getting live BBC coverage on BBC World (TV).

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
 

Oooh lovely Linda, so glad you are getting it live, I am watching ITV AND BBC just flicking and am just loving the trees in Westminster Abbey as the first guests are shown in.

Just think they have to sit there for the next 2 and a half hours, let's hope the seats are comfy LOL!! :eek:

This law was passed about 6 months ago, and was reported on line.

The reason, is because many herbal remedies, have never been tested for dangerous elements. Any producer, (Like Heath & Heather) can apply for their products, to be tested, and lots have done so. The original fear that many herbalists would close down, appears to be unfounded. Don

I was thinking the same thing. Hope they have a book to read!

Love the hats. I have a thing about hats.

A few minutes ago they caught Prince Harrys South African girl fiend entering the Abbey and the commentator said she was the Paris Hilton of the UK? What a slam! IMO.
I just lost BBC. I hope I can bring it back.
DW called from the TV room that CNN had good cameras.
Barbara, I wish I could have seen the pictures of the parties and train stations.
They identified Beckham arriving.

I wasn't really bothered about the Royal Wedding before now but have become quite caught up in the whole thing today, I wish now I had taken the train to London for the day to join in with the feel good crowd.
