Series 6, Episode 6 of The Crown: the late Queen Elizabeth II attends the coronation of King Tony Blair featuring a childrens choir cover of Things Can Only Get Better by D:Ream.

Cl this is the most random scene in the whole show 😭

[superS.]

This scene is genius. Especially when the choir boy starts singing and the rest joins in with full enthusiasm. But nothing beats King Tony's smirk. I love it. 🙌🏻

[M-rm]

The fact that the scene with the crowning and the entrance of the coronation included in the trailer FOOLED me into thinking that they actually put Charles’ coronation for the series’ ending and then i got shocked lmao

[satyendrandonibanerjee]

I got to be honest this is probably the weirdest season out of the whole series. We had ghosts, dream sequences of prime ministers becoming Kings, and a queen talking to her past selves. Don't get me wrong, I loved every second of it (even though some of it felt a little bit rushed) but it's definitely a sharp contrast to the rest of the seasons which were for the most part incredibly grounded.

[MiamiGameHunter]

I love the idea that Elizabeth dreamed up this insanity was because the mere idea of Blair becoming the first president of a Republican Britain was just THAT unfathomable to her.

The royal family wearing all black with distraught faces, not even muttering the words "God save the King" as King Tony walks past with a smirk on his face, is exactly the sort of nightmares I'd imagine the Queen would have lol.

[neckwatch]

the HUGE SMILE on Tony Blair's wife is priceless

[JBR-z]

The fact that the royals wearing black makes it 5x funnier 😂

The crown set designers actually taking the time to create a TR engram on the chair is a hillarious detail as well.

[kinggoldark]

The TR on the throne for “Tony Rex” - hilarious!

[seanpratherful]

Anyone that found this scene bizarre aren’t familiar with how much of a phenomenon New Labour and Blair were in 97.

[SomeoneOnlyWeKnow.]

I have never watched this show but this scene is so unhinged. King Tony coronated to a choir version of Things Can Only Get Better is absolutely hilarious.

[imperiumbrasiliae]

I love that she has to hear god save the queen for reassurance

[HolyGoatsOfSteel]

I watched this scene with my American wife. (I'm British) I thought it was the funniest, most surreal sequence in the entire season. I could not stop laughing. I had to stop the program and explain it to her.

[mattep]

This coronation and the last scene of the show feels like they were made after the death of the queen and the coronation

[RenaissanceEarCandy]

Will probably play this repeatedly on the morning of the 5th of July

[echarts]

Zadok the Priest (which inspired Champions League theme) playing during the coronation, followed by the orchestral version of D:Ream's Things Can Only Get Better is just amazing

[mohammadsalem]

Queen Elizabeth must have really hated the song "Things can only get better" if her worst nightmare has it being the new national anthem

[josephsalinas]

That's enough internet for tonight.

[Arushi]

What makes it funnier is the scene after it where she listens to 'God Save the Queen' 😂
