The lack of sunshine couldn’t dampen the spirits of those in the capital
Scots and tourists alike have turned out in droves in Edinburgh to see King Charles III crowned. The capital was caked in a fog that refused to ease on Saturday morning.
First to arrive was American Stephanie Kelley, from Lima, Ohio, who extended her stay in Scotland for an extra day to watch Charles be crowned. A year ago, she was in London for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and wanted to get a Scottish perspective on her son’s ascension to the throne.
“Things do feel a little muted here but it’s a momentous event from a historical perspective. I’ve never seen a coronation and the chances are, if Charles lived as long as his parents, I might never see William coronated. If I was in the US I would be up at 4am watching it. It's a period of significant historical change."
"It gives me a sense of comfort and continuity; the Queen has been such a central part of our history. We came to Edinburgh for the funeral and walked past her coffin at St Giles so this feels like the turning of a page.
