New Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh welcomed by crowds on the Royal Mile

Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, now the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, arrived at City Chambers on Friday having just been conferred their new roles.

They stepped out on the Royal Mile to a crowd of residents, making their way around to speak to those who had gathered.
