Talk:Coronation of the British monarch

Banquets

In the 'banquets' section we have the following sentence:

"A banquet was considered in 1902 for Edward VII but his sudden illness put a stop to the plans."

It is somewhat contradicted by the Royal Collection on their website:

"The Coronation Banquet of August 1902 comprised no fewer than fourteen courses."[1]

Who is right? Also, a state banquet and ball were held at the palace in 1911,[2] and again in 1937.[3] Firebrace (talk) 15:17, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Presumably it was the June 1902 one that was cancelled. DrKay (talk) 15:39, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

So there was a banquet, it was just delayed. Now I'm trying to figure out which part of "since the 20th century" implies that a flypast happened at every coronation in the 20th century. You could infer it but it isn't implied... Firebrace (talk) 15:52, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

"it has been traditional ... to watch a flypast by the Royal Air Force": since the one occasion it ever happened? One event does not a tradition make. Two can play at being a sarcastic asshole. DrKay (talk) 15:55, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

If it happened last time then it will happen next time. The plans for the next coronation do exist. But I see what you mean... Firebrace (talk) 16:06, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Half-crown

Linking the words "half crown" to an article on that subject (Half crown (British coin)) is obviously not coincidental[4] or "unrelated to the coin"[5]. The explanation for its removal is irrational. DrKay (talk) 06:46, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Quite agree, "crown" has so many different meanings in the UK, the link helps to clarify the pun for younger/international readers who are not familiar with the pre-decimal coin. Firebrace (talk) 10:25, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Agreed. GoodDay (talk) 14:06, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
