Eagle-eyed Still Game fans spot Boaby the Barman lookalike at King's coronation

Eagle-eyed fans of Still Game were left in stitches after they spotted a Boaby the Barman doppelganger in the crowd during King Charles III's coronation.

Gavin Mitchell, who stars in the Scottish comedy, joked that the royals "needed pies and a dial a bar" at the event after fans mistook an Australian musician for him.

Scots were left baffled by singer-songwriter Nick Cave, 65, who shared an uncanny likeness with the Craiglang resident.

Gavin Mitchell said: "Ok , ok look it was a last minute thing …… they needed pies and a ‘dial a bar’ , it was a last minute thing honest."

One fan joked: "Do you think anyone's ever went up to Nick Cave and said 'Two pints Boaby.' That would be funny."

Another wrote: "Wow Boaby! You got an invite to the coronation! Did Jack and Victor?"
