The ENTIRE 2 hour 24 minute show, as livedstreamed by ‘BritBox‘ on Sunday, May 15, 2022, using the ITV coverage is NOW available on BritBox to view at your leisure & convenience. So, you don’t have to watch it all in one go. Plus, you can replay your favorite bits as often as you want.

I was 99% sure that this would be what happened, i.e., that the livestream will be made available as a ‘watch anytime’ show. Well, it did happen today.

[I checked yesterday. It wasn’t there, & there was not even a mention that it might be coming. I e-mailed BritBox. I got a reply this morning saying it was UP. It was. SMILE.]

Long Live Our Glorious Queen.

I didn’t, ALAS, have the time to watch the ‘BritBoxlivestream of this momentous, once-in-a-lifetime event. I am hoping that BritBox, as it should, will include it in its ‘library’ for future viewing. I will let you know the status of this.

When I logged on, earlier this evening, the livestream was still ongoing. I captured two screenshots — that I shared above.

I know that many of you got to watch it live. Good for you. I am jealous. I was amazed at the HD quality. WOW. They did the Queen proud — as we should, as we should.

Long Live Our Glorious Queen.

Clouds Will Likely Obscure Tonight’s Total Lunar Eclipse Over Central New Hampshire.

I had a bad feeling about this for days. That is why I did NOT do a post on tonight’s total Lunar Eclipse earlier. By Wednesday of last week I had already seen that rain was being forecast for Sunday. So, I didn’t want to raise expectations IF we were going to be foiled by the weather (– again, as so often happens up here when it comes to matters celestial.)

I go out for a quick 1-mile walk, every night, around 11:30pm. So, the timing of this eclipse was perfect for me.

Last night, around 11:35, I noticed that the near full moon was peeking from behind thick clouds. So, that gave me a hint of what we could expect tonight — though I think the clouds will be thicker, & rain-filled tonight.

But, if you are up, around 11pm, you definitely should go out and take a gander. There could be a break in the clouds. You never know. It is always a great sight.

Yes, we did have a lunar eclipse over New Hampshire on January 20, 2019.

This is a precursor to the MAIN ‘Platinum Jubilee‘ events which are scheduled to take place in mid-June. I will do separate posts on some of these.

Us in the U.S. are going to have trouble seeing most of these — live. Yes, YouTube will help — albeit, not in real-time.

That is why I found this BritBox offering interesting & encouraging. It will be livestreamed. It should be worth watching. I am sure it will also be available afterward on BritBox.

I just wanted to make sure you knew about it. Enjoy.

Long Live Our Glorious Queen.
