Ciy Centre, Worcester: Sunday, 11th September, 2022.

12:55.
Getting prepared for a Proclamation. 
Worcester News Photo.
Worcestershire County Proclamation of
the Accession of King Charles III.
The PA System is not loud enough.
People shout 'louder'.
If the speaker realised he's supposed talk into the mic, 
rather than over it, it might help.
13:25.
Coffee Dough.
Cups of tea all 'round.
14:00.
Worcester City Proclamation of 
the Accession of King Charles III.
The mic doesn't work at all now.
They've had nearly an hour to sort it out.
A different mic is installed.
That doesn't work either.
The speaker has to shout out The Prolamation.
At the end he shouts 'God save The Queen'.
Audience gasps.
He quickly corrects things with a 'God save the King'.
Dignitaries who can't organise a Proclamation outside 
a Guild Hall proudly pose for a photo.
They are our elected representatives.
You couldn't make it up.
14:15.
Going in.
Wiping the basket down.
Well in.
