Royal fans headed down to Glasgow Cathedral to soak up the atmosphere
Coronation revellers in Glasgow have shared their excitement as the King and Queen Consort arrived at Westminster Abbey this morning. Royalists headed down to Glasgow Cathedral to soak up the atmosphere with the event being live streamed at the church.
Drew Currie, 38, travelled from Carluke with his two children Briar, 7, and Darroch, 3 - who were dressed smartly for the occasion and waved Union Jack flags at the Cathedral. "We're enjoying the pageantry of it all - and the kids are loving watching the horses. Briar is most looking forward to seeing the Queen Consort - it's all about Camilla for Brier. We just can't wait to see Charles crowned."
"The feeling has changed a bit and I'm very surprised that there is so few people here - but it feels fantastic to be here. You actually feel like you are participating in the occasion, rather than being in London when you would never get anywhere near the event." Ellen Gandrud is from Minnesota in the States but is now a student at the University of Glasgow studying History and Education.
