I thought it was a moving ceremony too, especially the speeches by survivors. It's clear that the spirit of Nazism unfortunately lives on in hostility and intolerance to people who are perceived as different. I expect that some people, assuming they even bothered to listen, will have dismissed what the survivors said as "woke".
I agree about King Charles. I think we're lucky to have him and hope he has many years ahead of him as King.

So many said it could never happen again. But, sadly, similar atrocities took place since - in countries with virtualy no access, for example.
And it's still happening - and the world's security services know, as do the United Nations which does little to help. Perhaps, it's just impossible.

Very moving ceremony - and proud that our King, a good and decent man, chose to attend. I wish he was running the country. We'd all be better off.
