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

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?

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.

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!!

Have you heard about this EU ban on herbal medicine? This has been in the works for some time and is something we need to be very concerned about.
http://www.anh-europe.org/campaigns/codex
Britain has a deep history in herbal medicinals and natural remedies. It would be a real travesty to see this outlawed.

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

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.

Guy Ritchie and girlfriend just arrived, I bet Madonna is kicking herself. 
Just found out that the George Michael song is a Stevie Wonder number and was announced a week ago 
I will look for it later.

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.
