Glasgow Coronation fans hail historic event despite screens failing at vital moment

Coronation revellers in Glasgow have hailed the historic event, despite the screens at the city's cathedral failing at the vital moment. The crowd at the iconic church shared their delight after King Charles was crowned - despite them missing the moment itself.

The group of less than 100 gathered at Glasgow Cathedral to watch a live stream of the event at the church on Saturday. It was a slow start as the doors opened at 9.30am with just a handful of people taking to the seats, but around an hour later dozens of people started to arrive.

Many of the seats that had been placed out for the event remained empty, however, and the majority of the crowd were tourists, with very few locals in attendance. It was a typical day of mixed weather in Glasgow, with equal moments of torrential rain and blue skies - but as the clock neared 12pm the sun started to split the sky as excited revellers inside the building prepared themselves to watch King Charles receive his crown.
