So many celebrations prove the coronation service was a triumph (Getty)

I read Sunday’s editorial with complete agreement, because as you rightly state our system of monarchy does work; if people are willing to congregate in the rain to reinforce that fact, the royals must be doing something right.

I am so bored with the strident republicans in the media and on the ground, who state they would rather “watch paint dry” than view the coronation.

Why do they have to be so churlish and curmudgeonly? Likewise, when they are asked how a monarch-less system would work in the UK they don’t have an answer, because they don’t themselves know.
