Hey - I'm no republican - just not good with formal weddings. Very happy for all those that enjoyed the show as I enjoyed my walk.

Well I didn't watch the wedding at all (not even on the news), BUT, I spent most of the day...ahem...celebrating it on my friend/neighbour's front lawn with other friends/neighbours. We ate, chatted, snoozed, teased, laughed, played and drank to excess. A fabulous day. Thanks to M for arranging this mini-street-party and to her young son J for suggesting the idea. Perfect.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed watching what Britain does best and I agree it was a great showcase for UK plc.


I employ three hundred people in the USA across three States and overwhelmingly they were excited about the event.


Most US networks covered the wedding live, with few commercial breaks


My wife is Canadian and working back in Winnipeg, again the level of interest was tremendous and the majority of her friends stayed up to watch from 4am onwards


Also my cousin Dan commanded the Sovereign's Escort on the day, so was hoping all went off well for him.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
