Newshub Europe correspondent Lisette Reymer, 28, tells the Weekly from her flat in London’s East End why reporting on the King’s coronation was unforgettable.
Lisette, tell us about the vibe in London on coronation day.
It was such an amazing mix that was somewhere between the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and her funeral. The gravity of how many times have we witnessed this and how many times will we? But then it had the celebration aspect. We started the day outside Westminster Abbey, before heading down to The Mall with everybody running to see the King and Queen come out on the balcony once the barriers came down. That was the coolest thing to see… everyone sprinting a mile long in the rain to get underneath the balcony. It actually felt a bit like a fairy tale. All this excitement, everyone was singing and chanting, all dressed up. And then Charles and Camilla came out on the balcony and the Red Arrows [flypast] came over. Spectacular!
And what was Windsor like for the Coronation Concert?
