A war of words broke out in the Renfrewshire Council chambers as the SNP called for a referendum on the future role of the monarchy.
Conservative group leader Neill Graham put forward a motion congratulating the Queen on her Platinum Jubilee at Thursday’s full council meeting.
However, the administration and independent member Andy Doig successfully voted through an amendment, which said a referendum should be held considering the prospect of an elected head of state at the end of the Queen’s reign.
