A row broke out among Renfrewshire councillors as they debated the merits of the monarchy on the eve of King Charles III's Coronation.
A motion brought forward by Labour's Jamie McGuire sought to congratulate the 74-year-old ahead of the ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London on Saturday at this week's full council meeting.
However, an amendment from the SNP's Jim Paterson – which said a referendum should be held on having an elected head of state "at the earliest opportunity" – received majority backing instead.
