Read our privacy policy 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. 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”. Participants from the people’s procession sat in the cathedral’s pews as the Moderator said ideals like “mercy and peace” should not be “domesticated or downgraded” but be the “fabric of our being”. She also said that society is on the “right track” if people are “brave enough” to “choose collaboration and trust over fear-filled circling of our wagons”.
