A hundred people representing various aspects of Scottish life and over 700 members of the various army corps took part in the procession on the Royal Mile. The event ended after the service in St. Gilj’s with an honorary salute of twenty-one shots from the cannons at Edinburgh Castle and a flyover by the Red Arrows, the aerobatic squadron of the Royal Air Force.
About a hundred protesters gathered at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, from where Charles III. and his wife Camilla (75) were leaving for the cathedral. Patrick Harvie (50), vice-chairman of the Scottish Greens, also spoke to the protesters on the spot.
“What we’ve seen in recent months is the lavish squandering of your money for the wealthiest people in the country,” Harvey said. “And all so they can put on some kind of overpriced show in style Game of Thrones,“ he added, meaning the American drama fantasy series.
Clusters of protesters with signs “he is not my king” in some places they stood right next to supporters of the monarchy, who held signs with the inscription “Charles King of Scots”writes the BBC station.
As the royal couple left St Giles’ Cathedral, a group of protesters with a banner “this palace should be social housing” she screamed to attract the attention of the police. The police arrested the person in question after a short conversation, during which the protesters began to say something obscene, BBC journalist David Cowan described from the scene.
