Edinburgh Castle fired off a 21-gun salute as the King was crowned
Scots broke out into spontaneous applause in Princes Street Gardens as King Charles III was formally coronated.
Castle guard musicians from Reserve Bands of The Royal Regiment of Scotland and adult instructors of the Army Cadet Force performed God Save The King following the salute. One passing voice was heard to shout "Not My King" from the direction of Princes Street. However, there did not appear to be any reaction to the subdued outcry.
Mum Ailsa added: "We thought we would like to come see a historic event, so Aleka could say that she watched it. It's better than watching it at home. We're not big on the royal family but we followed the Jubilee celebrations and the Queen's funeral, so we thought we'd be part of this too.
