The King is being presented today with the Honours of Scotland – the country’s Crown Jewels – in a service of thanksgiving and dedication to mark his new reign.
The service will feature centuries-old aspects of Scottish royal tradition, along with new additions such as pieces of music written specially for the occasion, a psalm sung in Gaelic and the use of passages from the New Testament in Scots.
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Rt Rev Sally Foster-Fulton, will preach the sermon and provide a blessing to close the service.
Others involved will include violinist Nicola Benedetti, who will be among the musicians playing, and Olympic rower Dame Katherine Grainger, who will carry the Elizabeth Sword, which is being used in place of the Sword of State.
