Dozens of real fans They have begun camping in central London ahead of King Charles’s coronation on Saturday, but while they and millions of others are enthusiastically looking forward to this historic event, at least many are saying no. careful.
The 1,000-year-old coronation will be the largest ceremonial event since it was held in honor of Charles’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1953. a demonstration of the pomp and a large military procession.
For some Brits it happens once in a lifetime. For others, this is a welcome occasion only because it provides a day off with an extra day off on Monday.
“They just take everything from me. They never work during the day,” Philip Nash, 68, said as he swept the streets of Whitechapel, a more seedy area of east London.

For some in Whitechapel, an area where immigrants have settled in the British capital for centuries, a spectacular ceremony for members of the royal family seemed out of place when many are dealing with high inflation, this exceeds 10%, which increases the cost of food and energy. .
“With many people struggling to pay their bills and facing big losses, this is a bit discouraging to see so many resources on TV and the money that is given to this family… it doesn’t seem to give us anything.” back,” Unab Ali, a 19-year-old dental student, said.
Throughout the capital and in many parts of the UK, shops and public spaces are adorned with Union Flag pennants and street parties are planned. The ceremony will be shown on huge screens. at 30 locations across the country.

For those who had already been to the Mall, on the grand boulevard leading to Buckingham Palace, the prevailing feeling was that this too would be a special moment.
“I wouldn’t miss it for anything,” said Tony Chen, who traveled from central England to the camp despite a serious heart condition. “While at home, watch it on TV it’s not like being here in real life“.
Ali Stevens, 50, a nurse’s assistant, said it might be nonsense, “but it’s our nonsense.”
“This is what this small country has and what the big countries don’t have,” he said. “So we should really appreciate it and be thankful for all this pomposity and all this nonsense… that doesn’t happen in a republic.”
