Gawd, I give up...BBC "Coronation carriage will be a more comfortable ride"... Archived Message Posted by Ed on April 9, 2023, 11:59 pm "The King and Queen Consort will travel to the coronation at Westminster Abbey in a more comfortable, relatively modern, horse-drawn carriage.... ...This looks traditional, but is actually modern, with air conditioning, electric windows and up-to-date suspension... ...It's made of aluminium, which is quite unusual, because most of them are made of wood, and it's also got hydraulic suspension, meaning that the ride is incredibly comfortable," says Sally Goodsir, curator at the Royal Collection Trust... ...There have been complaints about the cost of the coronation from anti-monarchy campaigners. In terms of the public expenditure, the government will not publish a figure until after the event... And proving this is a 21st Century coronation, a special emoji has even been created for the occasion.
