Our King Charles needs to grow a pair. Charles needs to pu,t his foot down, mark boundaries and cut Andrew and Harry off from the R.F. The problem with doing that is it cuts the two girls, Beatrice and Eugenie off too. Charles is such a sucker, he has let them appear to be working members of the RF when they are officially not. The girls and their mother should be forgotten, leading a quiet life somewhere away from the RF. Charles is younger than I am. I remember him growing up, being pampered and pandered to. A very nice man, but too soft. His father had hoped that he and the Queen would live long enough to keep Charles off the throne, giving him only a short reign, not long enough to have the opportunity to damage the monarchy. The Coronation this year, abdication next year would be perfect.

What is old in terms of elderly people? I'm approaching 80, it's getting tough going, too many apps landing on my phone, too many pins, pass words, codes to remember. Now where is my default for x, y and z, it's a struggle to get my head around these things. Will it be all down hill after my 80th birthday next year? As a 79-year-old woman living alone, I feel I'm loosing it already, who do you ask for help? My Debit card seldom works at Tesco, buying petrol, online at Sainsbury. My son will be delighted, wherever he is, I'm not spending money.

Angela, I think the screen is entirely wrong, a canopy has always been used, this is a great change from tradition. The last coronation happened when I was nine, and it was great. All the peers had coronets, which I found wonderful and interesting. Seeing the canopy lifted over the Queen was fascinating, the thought of the Queen having the canopy so that people didn't see her having oil put on her chest. Naturally, I hoped that no oil got on her lovely cloths. Queen Salote of Tonga won the heart of the British people, she sat in her carriage in the rain, she said she loved the British weather, and we all got wet. We need to celebrate with the heads of other countries, it's the right thing to do, unite on such a special occasion. I am sceptical about the coronation, I may not bother to watch it, I'm a traditionalist.

Kelvin MacKenzie is right, give that man a medal. It is war, our country is being invaded, and we are paying for the invaders' keep, health care, education, transport, pocket money, legal costs, money to send home. A friend of mine interviewed a poor, well-dressed, migrant, in need of money, she didn't feel sorry for the migrant. Why, the family back home had a business to run and required money to run the business. The case went to senior management, the person was given money. My friend retired several years ago, when no so many were arriving. She is concerned about the war pensioners, especially those who have some savings.

You're right about the BBC going after pensioners for licence money. I'm 80, and I live in a block of flats for elderly and disabled people. The people here are all on pensions and benefits, many have carers. BBC T.V. licencing department sends, reminders, asking if the tenant has a TV or a licence, letters saying they're calling. They call on me every year. The building has a main entrance, and side doors. All doors are always locked, but they get in and find their way to the front door of the flat they are visiting. No proper notice is given, although letters are sent to say they are calling, they seldom call on the day stated. All of that for £7.50. What a waste of time and money, beside being harassment to elderly and disabled people, There is no warden in the flats, just a manager who calls in twice a week to check the alarms and maintenance.

They come to our country to live at our expense. The British people are loosing money that they paid in to help them in old age, families paid into a NHS to see a doctor and get treatment when they are ill. This money is being used for the illegal people coming into the country. They are kept at our expense. Too many people are having to go for private health care, I'm over 80 and had to pay £2.000 for dentures as I can't find an NHS dentist. Five years ago, I was illegally evicted, on a Section 21, from the farm that I had rented for 20 years. As soon as I had been taken away, the farm and my home were ransacked. All I had were the cloths that I wore. I was 75 years old, recovering from major surgery that I'd had 2 months before the eviction. The police won't do anything, they say it's a civil matter. There were no legal aid solicitors for over two hundred miles. Although I found, there were solicitors offering Legal Aid for dealing with immigration issues. The owner of the property had died, and her son had taken over ownership. I kept in contact with the court, sent files of documents relating to the farming business. What I needed was a solicitor. If was an illegal that had just landed along our shore, I'd have access to solicitors, a comfortable place to live, cloths food and a comfortable bed to sleep in and spending money. I was given temporary accommodation then taken to a small flat, there was no furniture, so I had to sleep on the floor. When neighbours in the other flats found out I had nothing, they brought me some cloths and useful things. The vicar found me a bed and some bed linen, a couple of chairs and plates and coffee mugs. Compare my experience to that of those people landing on our beaches. I found out what had happened to my furniture, it would shock you if you knew.

There are International laws regulating the use of power boats at sea. It's possible, even likely, that boats in French waters can be made to turn back if the person in charge doesn't hold a relevant International Boat Licence, insurance, equipment. Furthermore, boats entering British water may not meet the requirements and could be legitimately turned back. In other words, it's a French boat, it's sinking, come and get it, we aren't letting it into our waters. I knew about International Boat Licences, but I never needed one. I used to go sailing.

Many elderly folk living in council accommodation would prefer the accommodation these migrants have. I have a tiny one-bedroom flat off a long dingy corridor, no garden, just a tiny patio overlooking a car park, shared with 37 flats, that's about 50 people. It's cramped here, no room to swing a cat, so I've got a budgie. No TV or computer room, socializing is Bingo on Thursday afternoon, many people are too pissed off to go. Migrants should think themselves lucky, the government could do a lot better for elderly folk, I'm 79.
