King Charles and Queen arrive at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh for elaborate ceremony
The King and Queen have arrived at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh for the start of a service of thanksgiving and dedication celebrating their coronation.
Kate wore a Catherine Walker coat, hat by Philip Treacy and a necklace from the late Queen’s collection, while William was dressed in his RAF No1 uniform. The service will feature centuries-old aspects of Scottish royal tradition along with new additions such as pieces of music written specially for the occasion, a psalm sung in Gaelic and the use of passages from the New Testament in Scots.
Others involved will include violinist Nicola Benedetti, who will be among the musicians playing, and Olympic rower Dame Katherine Grainger who will carry the Elizabeth Sword which is being used in place of the Sword of State.
