Am I the only one who was originally slightly disinterested in this but is now totally obsessed by it? Maybe it's the hormones of having a young baby but I've already had tears in my eyes while watching the BBC coverage (and no that wasn't because I saw that annoying Fearne Cotton was doing some of it). Gutted no-one I know is having a party. Thought I could watch it with husband (who is quite girly about weddings anyway) but he has an osteopaths appointment this morning. How?

about 30 mins ago I was setting the scene for a painting, colouring, mask-making, rocket-building kind of morning with my two boys, cheesy disco classics blasting from the CD player. Then my anti-royalist missus floated in - music off, TV on and now she is glued to the TV with the two boys kissing each other and cheering. What gives?

I'm also fundamentally anti-royal but I'm also encouraging my kids to watch it.

I think it is just one of those events that there will be a globally shared memory of - the others have mostly been sad events such as twin towers, Diana's funeral, etc. You have to make the most of a happy event, I think, whenever it happens!

I grew up very far away from here, but even I remember, as a small child, seeing Diana going to her wedding 30 years ago... I think will be nice for my children to be able to look back on this wedding and say, "I was in England when that happened!"

Well I ended up watching it with baby uptime (5 months) and the cat and we all LOVED it and thought the happy couple looked splendid - loved the bright red on Wills. I know that sounds sad but not as sad as my husband who watched it on his laptop with the osteopath during the treatment. Weird.

The most tedious thing about the royal wedding is all the *OH I can't be arsed with it* posturing all over Facebook/The Lounge....fair enough if you've know interest but posting it all over every bit of Social Media avaialble strikes me as posturing in the 'doth protest too much' by half...


I'm working but watched a bit and the kids went down to PRye. My son (3) was most excited that the "Duke of York" was mentioned as that's his number 1 nursery rhyme :))

my 4 year old daughter LOVED it! "mummy, can we go and wave at them", "mummy, why can't they come to our house", "mummy when I marry m**** (her best friend/boyfriend!!) I want to wear a dress like that", "mummy, look look at the crown on the carriage" etc etc. It really made it enjoyable for me :))

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
