Police have received intelligence suggesting protesters will try to disrupt the event in Edinburgh on Wednesday.

Police Scotland also deployed anti-terror measures at the weekend.

Assistant Chief Constable Tim Mairs warned: "Abusive, threatening behaviour or activity intended to disrupt the event that risks public safety is not a legitimate protest." St Giles' Cathedral, where the service is taking place, will be closed as officials lift the floor to search for devices.

Sections of the Royal Mile, which runs from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the monarch's official Scottish residence, will be cordoned off, with roads closed and drones banned.
