Alas, there was no direct equivalent radio for the 2023 Coronation and  even though I am not a fervent or even luke-warm Royallist, I didn't want to substitute a cuntemperaneous photo of  a mental defective, protesting in a cheap T- shirt custom adorned by Vistaprint so please enjoy my alternative patriotic study in red white and blue instead:-
