👑 Scotland marks the coronation of King Charles and his wife Camilla with a grand procession and a service of thanksgiving. Here's a look back at Queen Elizabeth's Scottish coronation
Protesters chant "Not my king"
But in a nod to the historical fact that England and Scotland had different monarchs until the crowns were united in 1603, separate Scottish celebrations to herald his coronation were held on Wednesday. "By the symbol of this crown, we pledge our loyalty, entrusting you to reign as our king in the service of all your people," said Alexander Douglas-Hamilton, the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon and Scotland's most senior peer, as he presented Charles with the crown on a cushion.
As at the coronation itself, there were protests by opponents of the monarchy, with polls suggesting the institution is less popular in Scotland than in the rest of the United Kingdom.
