Great joy all yesterday at London, and at night more bonfires than ever, and ringing of bells, and drinking of the King’s health upon their knees in the streets, which methinks is a little too much.  [Restoration of Charles II, from Samuel Pepys’ diary, 2 May 1660]

Hm.  I don't plan any pledging of allegiance to Charles III.  I heard yesterday or rather read, that we [State of WA] won’t be getting a coronation holiday.  That would’ve been the only thing Charles was likely to ever do for me and the hope is dashed.  I was rather conflicted in that I wanted the holiday but at the same time felt that it would’ve been a bad idea and a wrong signal.  Ours was the only Australian state where it was even a possibility.   I feel that’s a thing for England to do now if they want to, not us.
