Hello from The Mall – I’m soaking up the sunshine here and I hope you’re out there enjoying this beautiful day, too.
It’s still over an hour until the event kicks off, but people are already gathering.
I’ve just spoken to Corrigan Gommenginger, one of the first to arrive. He told me he was here at 04:00 today.
And yes, he’s come all the way from Seattle, Washington for the event.
“I love the royal family. They do a lot of great things for the country. They inspire people to do good things for humanity and for the world,” he says.
No surprise at his enthusiasm – this isn’t his first royal rodeo. He got his crown back at the coronation a few years ago.
“I’m hoping to see the royal family and their carriages, and the horses, and the military today,” he tells me.
