THE King and Queen heard a stark environmental message for the planet to be safeguarded for future generations and not left "baking to a crisp", as Scotland celebrated their coronation.
Charles was presented with the symbols of his authority in Scotland - the Crown, the Sceptre and the Sword of State known as the Honours of Scotland during a day of pomp, pageantry and prayer in Edinburgh.
Scotland's leading figures, and representatives from the nation's life, gathered at St Giles' Cathedral yesterday for a service of thanksgiving and dedication for the King and Queen, also attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
The service came eight weeks after Charles and Camilla were crowned in an ancient ceremony at Westminster Abbey where the King made a pledge to "serve".
The Right Reverend Sally Foster-Fulton, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, delivered the sermon, which took the environment as one of its themes.
