- Comment: Who knew coronation robes were so complicated! I can make more interesting hooks individually but thought it might be best to get them out in one go. Would be good to run on the coronation day of Charles III (6 May)

Passes everything from what I can tell, I like this one because it goes on and on and on. Nomrally this would be poor form but I like it since it's in context of the upcoming coronation. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 21:13, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
