Watch again: King Charles and Queen Camilla are crowned for second time in Scotland
King Charles III was today presented with the Scottish crown jewels, including a crown and sceptre, to mark his coronation. The ceremony took place at St Giles Cathedral, and included a procession involving over 800 people beforehand, down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Weighing 1. 59kg, the crown itself features 43 precious stones, as well as 94 pearls, and the iconic gold cross embedded on an enamel orb. A 21gun salute will be fired from Edinburgh Castle at about 15:20 BST, before Charles and other royals head back to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Scotland s First Minister Humza Yousaf, will be in attendance. However, the day is not expected without protesters. A number of people shouting not my King have already been spotted alongside supporters on the procession route. Watch more videos at the Independent TV: Click here to subscribe to The Independent:
