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 , the crown itself features 43 precious stones, as well as 94 pearls, and the iconic gold cross embedded on an enamel orb. A 21-gun 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:
