Not watching it or excited by it. If I were a friend or relative of their then fine, but for me, it's a good boost for the economy, makes more GDP than it costs and good luck to them. So not against it nor moaning about it.

Dave Hanson seems to think that ex Tory Prime Ministers have been invited and ex Labour Prime Ministers haven't. Just for the record, no ex Prime Minister has been invited. Just the current one.

Knights of The Garter are part of the Royal caravan and are invited to such events. Despite an incoming Prime Minister traditionally offering that Knighthood to their predecessors, neither Tony Blair nor Gordon brown wanted it. Nothing to do with political party. A constitutional Monarchy is just that. Apolitical. Regardless of what any of the members would (or in the case of minor Royals do) vote.
