The awaited pageant did take place
Vast crowds awaited
the slow pace
Of golden carriage
down the Mall
Aerial cameras
captured all.
Prancing horses on parade
Bold royal livery displayed
Umbrellas bobbing
in profusion
Bright and finely-tuned collusion.
The Press were out
there in great force
Protesters lined
the route of course
Multi-faiths were
celebrated
The ceremony
syncopated.
Celebs and not-famous
faces
Proudly took their
Abbey places.
Glimpses of rare
royals were seen;
Screens revealed crowned
king and queen!
A sea change for this
island nation
Now multi-cultural
equation
Where past and
present intertwine
Historic moment caught on-line …
