I'm not sure if my words are worth much so I am going to give them away for
free!

I fully agree with Richard on this one.  Part of the reason ties in with the
next statement.

In addition to having more room to serve and for decoration, it allows more
space between you and the people talking behind you.  This helps you to hear
court better.  As one who has attended the last 10 coronations and enjoys
hearing all that is said, this is one of my concerns.  Baroness Dana and
myself always get to the site very early, often we have to wait for gate to
open, in order to get a seat as close as possible to the front.  We have
found that sitting farther back than the first four rows usually assures we
will hear very little of what is said by anyone up front.  And yes, I do
have a hearing problem.  The result of over use for MANY years.:)  Even
though Dana is kind enough to repeat things I miss, sometimes she misses
them as well.  

Thanks for letting me add my words to yours.
