New sword presented to King Charles at Scottish Coronation event
The King will be presented with the Honours of Scotland at a service in St Giles' Cathedral on 5 July.
An existing 16th Century sword which is part of the Honours collection is now too fragile so a new Elizabeth Sword, named after his late mother, was commissioned for the occasion.
The sword, which cost £22,000 to make, was designed by Mark Dennis and worked on by a number of expert Scottish craftspeople.
