My wife’s latest project, a pair of crochet postbox toppers for the upcoming Coronation in Drayton, Portsmouth

  1. The crochet is amazing, but I have a genuine question – are people in the UK actually excited about the coronation? I’ve been abroad for 5 years so I’m a bit out of the loop. Honestly I find this kind of patriotic monarchism super cringe, but maybe that’s just me.

  2. Wow great work there. I’m not a monarchist but I appreciate the work and skill that have gone into this.

  3. This post isn’t going to go down well on this sub.

    Great work though even though I am a republican.

  4. What the hell why would you do this for a pedo-protector? It looks beautiful but, why are you celebrating this? Why are the taxpayers paying 100 million quid for it?

  5. They are v cool. I love seeing these for different events.

    Despite the way *some* people on this thread try and make everything as negative as possible.

  6. Nice crocheting.

    I’m not fussed about the coronation except as a notable historic event. But hey, not to spoil other people’s fun.

  7. As a crocheter , this is freaking amazing (regardless of my or anyone’s thoughts on the subject matter). The bead/gems on the dress look so fiddly and delicate. The hours of work this took is mind-blowing.
    Very very impressive skill there! I couldn’t bring myself to leave it outside in the weather!

  8. If everyone shared your wifes passion, our towns, villages and maybe even cities would become brilliant community marvels.

    It’s a shame that many here have some strange disdain for those who do want to support monarchy or celebrate the coronation.

  9. Very lovely and your wife clearly has a talent. However could her passion not be directed towards something more constructive. Does your local foodbank/clothes bank need baby hats etc?

  10. The crochet job is honestly incredible, but I can’t help but wonder how long they’ll last. Where I live I imagine they’d be gone in a day.

  11. Really glad that you posted this again. You don’t need to be a monarchist to appreciate the incredible artwork. Superb job Mrs Big_JR80!!!

  12. Read this as “crotch toppers” and… very evidently it wasn’t that.

    Nice work! I’m not big into the Hatting, it doesn’t seem like many people are, but this is fine *fine* work.

  13. I’m not monarchist and I think he could have at least chipped in towards the costs of all this, but these things are lovely, and they do cheer people up and I hope it’s left alone.

  14. King Charles III has net +37% favourability, for context Biden is -9.7% and Rishi is -21%.

    Please bear that in mind and kindly ignore the totally unrepresentative Reddit degens in this thread.
