This is the last event of its kind we will see in our lifetimes.
Irish Examiner View: Let fans of royal pageantry enjoy their day

A service to mark the arrival of the Stone of Destiny to Westminster Abbey in London. The stone, an ancient symbol of Scotland's monarchy, will play a central role in the coronation of Britain's King Charles on Saturday. Picture: PA

By the end of today we will have a clear idea whether the naysayers, the ecowarriors, the ‘not-my-king’ brigade, the ardent republicans, the reparations hunters, the slow marchers, and all of those carrying some kind of animus have been able to disrupt and disturb Britain’s coronation ceremony or whether the predicted rain will have played its part in dampening people’s spirits.

For now, it is worth reflecting, and wondering, whether this is the last event of its kind we will see in our lifetimes.
