When is the coronation? Do we get a day off for that?
 
Well George VI died in Feb 1952 and Elizabeth had her coronation in summer 1953.

I imagine next summer.
Was just chatting to my mum. She came to the UK in the Winter of 1952 and the coronation is one of her earliest ever memories.
 
Meanwhile CNN's is fantastic. Watch the woman in the middle as the reporter reads the news.

 
Interesting to see Sinn Fein, on both sides of the border, offering condolences. Really underlines the astonishing political journey they have been on since the GFA.
 
I also note the announcement was made during a White House press briefing and the spokesperson found out by being told by reporters.
 
I still think the Beeb did it best.
Of course. They are the masters of ceremonies during such events. Huw was absolutely flawless. Apart from the odd crackling microphone, it's been a very smooth ride.
