Anti-monarchy protester with crude sign taken away by police at proclamation of King Charles III
A woman was arrested after a protester held aloft a crude anti-monarchy sign ahead of the accession proclamation of King Charles III in Edinburgh. Police Scotland said the arrest was made outside St Giles' Cathedral, where the Queen's coffin is due to be held on Monday.
It came after hecklers were heard booing during the event. During the first proclamation of Charles, the Lord Lyon King of Arms gave a speech before declaring 'God save the King', which the crowd repeated. Ms Smith, an engineer, she feels it dampened the event for the rest of the crowd. "We saw the police keeping an eye on things behind us, and we thought something was going to kick off, and it did,” she said. "We just felt disappointed because the eyes of the world are on us at the moment.
"Somebody shouted, ‘Republic now’. Then, when they were doing the three cheers, somebody was booing." Liz Maclaren, 67, also branded it “disrespectful”, saying: "The boos sounded like one person."
