It is Alan. I wasnt going to say anything but I got anointed first by the archbishop. Then Charles had his done..
That explains the absence, I don't understand the anointing thing, I hope they didn't use the same chair?
Well I did get a knighthood Alan as we were both in the neighborhood so it made perfect sense to get it done there and then, I told him I had 5 cocks and he seemed pretty impressed and gave all of my cocks a royal title too.
Yes they are now titled, I have horace of Haltemprice, Richard of Shrewsbury. Stuart the brave, Peter of Liecester and St Paul.
''The act of anointing, which was usually carried out by a priest, signified the setting apart of the king and signalled his divine election. It was also the moment at which God adopted the monarch as his son and at which God's spirit descended on him''. So a couple of bishops give him a rub down with oil, behind a screen, and this is meant to have something to do with god? downright pervy if you ask me.
