King Charles III visits Dunfermline saying new city status 'gladdens his heart'

The new King has offered his "warmest congratulations" to Scotland's newest city as he said conferring the honour on Dunfermline in Fife would "gladden my dear mother's heart".

King Charles III spoke as he formally conferred city status on the former town which was one of eight communities awarded the honour as part of the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The ceremony was the first undertaken by the King and Queen Consort after the official period of royal mourning for the Queen ended.

In a ceremony at Dunfermline City Chambers Charles said he had been "delighted" when the announcement of city status was made in May.
