Weren't the words/verse posted in the Royal Wedding 'menus' (lack of better word bad brain day) that everyone had? I would so love to have one of those. But yes the funniest thing was the first song that was three verses long - I'm not sure I think it was they hymn to honor the late Princess Diana, but it was like no one knew it was three verses long and after the end of the first verse some people were caught nearly sitting down. Then it went on, and on and the organ stopped and you could see people didn't have a clue, and then the third verse started up and people were just looking around mouthing words like little birds. The only ones on camera that even knew the words were Prince Charles, HRM Camilla, The Queen, Prince Phillip - and Will and Kate. I didn't see anyone Oh yes -the Prime Minister. Past that? Not very many looked like they did even with the time delay.
Then there was one man in the choir that I swear he had to be the most over the top person ever to be in a choir - his facial expresions, eyebrows, his whole upper torso when he sang - it looked as if he were going to BURST in two. I don't think there was a happier person in that choir. He was jubillant to say the least.
However - just to be included at all? Remarkable, memorable, and a well spent two hours. I've done far worse with two hours that are less memorable. It was nice that we were invited.
