The crowd at the iconic church shared their delight after King Charles was crowned - despite them missing the moment itself
Coronation revellers in Glasgow have hailed the historic event, despite the screens at the city's cathedral failing at the vital moment.
They were left gutted, however, as right at the pivotal moment the screens went blank - with those seated letting out an almighty sigh. Many of the crowd, panicking that they would miss the most important part of the ceremony, scrambled to find their phones as they quickly tried to stream the event. "I was hoping to enjoy the whole thing - and some of it was okay - but I left after the TVs packed up. It was very disappointing - they shouldn't advertise it if there was a chance it wasn't going to work.
"We wanted to watch it as it hasn't happened in 70 years. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, so it was disappointing to miss the big moment. Even right from when we arrived and sat down at around 10.30am it kept cutting in and out and then it got right to the good part and everyone at once just went 'uuugh'.
"I walked 50 minutes from my hotel to watch the Coronation - and then it cut out. Eventually I was able to watch the moment from an old lady's phone. It's a real shame but they said that no one is able to fix it and it was out of their control."
