King Charles officially reopens Burrell Collection in Glasgow as monarch greeted with cheers from children

King Charles was greeted by cheering children as he officially reopened the Burrell Collection in Glasgow.

The newly refurbished museum was originally opened by his mother Queen Elizabeth II nearly 40 years ago on October 21, 1983. Charles was dressed in Royal Stewart Hunting Tartan on his first official engagement in Glasgow as monarch.

The King looked delighted as he was presented with an autumnal wreath by local nursery children when he arrived at the Burrell Collection, which is situated in Pollok Park. He was taken on a guided tour by Jane Rowlands, senior museums manager at Glasgow Life, and spoke to curators as he toured the exhibits.
