500th Anniversary

[lys1022]

Just an FYI for those interested:

If the weather is not cooperative, the Coronation MAY get moved to Castle Pavillion.  This is not finalized yet as far as I know, but it's a possibility if the pavillion is free.

So if you want to watch this event, you may want to check with someone that morning to see if it's been moved.

In the event of 'inclement' weather, the Coronation will be held in the CROWN Pavilion.

Shouldn't be a problem since the reCoronation is right after parade and we all know the Scarby rule for parade and the sun.   No matter what if does before or after during parade the sun will be out and roasting, baking, steaming, etc us during parade.

I hear Archbishop Cranmer will be doing the honors.

Pretty hefty achievement for a 20 year old.

In the event of 'inclement' weather, the Coronation will be held in the CROWN Pavilion.

Okay.  CROWN Pavillion.  Not Castle Pavillion.

Sorry.

Just trying to help people find it.

I'll shut up now.

That was wonderful to watch.  A big thanks to the Scarby cast & staff for putting together such an event.  My kids were a bit whiney but once they saw the procession & King Henrys cape (train?) they were spellbound.

It was great! I thought the event was well organized. There was at least one person, taking video. I left  my video camera at home (duh!), hopefully the video will be posted somewhere. There should be no shortage of pictures  - it looked and sounded like a press conference.

Miguel yelling from the stage across - "God save King Henry!" was something else.

It was a blast!

For those who might find this interesting: We had a Stone of Scone!
To which, the Scots proudly stole immediatly after the Coronation...

My Thanks to Stalkwell's girl for helping me figure out the exact name of the rock.
I knew that English Kings (And Queen's) had been crowned on a stone, but, the name and such
eluded me as we prepared for the ceremony.
And thank you! To the crowd who cheerfully joined in on the 'God Save the King' bits! That was simply brilliant!

hey George, congrats on getting recrowned(what size hammer did they use?) I'll bite yer hand on the last weekend to comemorate the affair since I couldn't make it sunday

[DonaCatalina]

Does anyone have any photos yet of Henry's re-coronation?
I sprained my knee Saturday and we were afraid to come out in the mud on Sunday.

[Ronald the Bald]

Yes, pics please! Being a minor part of the festivities and not having a view of the stage I didn't see much except the procession to and from. I did hear  "God save the king" a few times, but that was it as far as the actual ceremony.

We're working as fast as we can    There were a few of us inside shooting, and there are some very good shots coming.  It was very dark for us, and will take extra post-process care to recover.  There should be stuff up in a day or two from both the good Lady Stalkwell and myself.  We'll post the link shortly.

Stalk well...

 I also wish I had been able to be there! A ride did not materialize.  Anticipating the pictures!
