Does it sound morbid to say I hope I see a coronation while I live in London? I'm going to be here for probably five years or so. It would certainly be unfortunate for the Queen, but I think England could really use a coronation. 2013 maybe?

I love how you can still use mute on ads. Yeah, I love that. Although, you'd be mad to mute this. MAD!

Britten used Handel's music as raw material for his Champions League hymn. I suppose this is a prove of Handel's ability to be THE composer for public occations even now.

@achantus1 You say that, but Handel's music was ignored during his life.

I never never never realised Handel wrote the Champions League song. The impossible has happened, I respect him even more.....
