An estimated 1,500 people flocked to Princes Street Gardens to watch Charles formally ascend to the throne
Scots and visitors from further afield have spoken warmly of King Charles III as they turned out to see him coronated on a six-metre tall screen in Edinburgh. An estimated 1,500 people flocked to the Ross Bandstand in the capital's Princes Street Gardens to watch Charles formally ascend to the throne eight months after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
No disturbances took place as the BBC broadcast was played out on the screen, organised by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and local production firm Rogue City. However, one passer-by was heard to shout "Not My King" from the direction of Princes Street. "I think Charles could be quite relatable. That's what people want." Sophie added: "They make me feel quite proud - I like the tradition that they are carrying forward."
Cathy said: "I'm very proud. We're the only country that can put on a show like this. There aren't many people celebrating in Scotland and I think that's sad. I wanted to be part of it, to get the atmosphere." Melanie added: "I like Charles just the way he is but I think [the monarchy] will be different under him."
