Just eight months ago the Lord-Lieutenant for Perth and Kinross Stephen Leckie attended Westminster Abbey for the Queen’s funeral in what was one the most sombre days in the nation’s long history.
This weekend, however, the Crieff-based monarchy representative for the region will return to historic royal church for a very different occasion - as a guest for the Coronation of King Charles III.
Chairman and CEO of the Crieff Hydro Family of hotels has met the new King on a number of occasions and is looking forward to witnessing his enthronement in what he views as the beginning of a new era.
