King Charles III will be presented with the Scottish crown jewels in a ceremony in Edinburgh on Wednesday marking his Coronation.

It will be the historic highlight of the day in which Scotland takes the opportunity to celebrate with the new King.

What are the plans for the day?

The day will begin at about 13:15 when a "people's procession" leaves Edinburgh Castle for St Giles' Cathedral.

About 100 people from all aspects of Scottish life will take part in the cavalcade along the Royal Mile, arriving at the historic kirk at about 13:30.

They will be escorted by The Royal Regiment of Scotland, their mascot Shetland pony Corporal Cruachan IV, and a cadet military band.
