ES - Coronation

[Toby Pugh]

Agreed, Siobhan --

A PA system may not be period, but at a coronation the focus is COURT, and 
if you can't hear what is being said, it detracts considerably.  I know I 
hate it when I can't hear what's going on.  And we're all there to have a 
good time, aren't we?  After all, there's pre-1600 and then there's stupid, 
right? :)
