It's right that the event should be broadcast on the main channel but having it shown simultaneously on BBC1, BBC2 and ITV is not reflecting the opinion of the majority. Why? He's already king,  the whole ceremony is unnecessary and is just pro-royal propaganda. We are spending millions on the "rare spectacle" that most people don't care about while ignoring the common spectacle of people sleeping rough on the streets. That is the obscenity of having a monarchy.</blockquote>
