Stirling gets set to mark King Charles' Coronation as we look back at ceremonies from previous centuries

In the build up to tomorrow’s coronation of King Charles III, Stirling Archives have been reflecting upon the local coronation celebrations of the last 185 years.

A selection of photographs, newspaper articles and minute excerpts have been brought together which focus on local celebrations of the coronations of Queen Victoria, George V and Elizabeth II.

For the coronation of Elizabeth II in June 1953 an illustrated souvenir book was distributed to local primary and secondary schoolchildren. Covering topics including the Royal Regalia, The Coronation, The Historic Ceremony and its Development and the coronation of Elizabeth’s father George VI, the book was only one of a number of souvenirs and treats handed down as part of the celebrations.
