Scotland will mark the coronation of King Charles and his wife Camilla on Wednesday with a grand procession, a fly-past and a service of thanksgiving
in London's Westminster Abbey in May in front of about 100 world leaders in Britain's biggest ceremonial event for seven decades.
But in a nod to the historical fact that England and Scotland had different monarchs until the crowns were united in 1603, there will be separate Scottish celebrations to mark his coronation on Wednesday. At a thanksgiving service in the city's St Giles' Cathedral, Charles will be presented with the Honours of Scotland - the Scottish crown jewels - including the new Elizabeth Sword, named after his mother and made to replace the one gifted to Scotland's James IV by Pope Julius in 1507 but now too fragile to use.
