King Charles is beginning a series of engagements in Scotland, marking the first Holyrood Week since his coronation.
Each year the monarch traditionally spends a week based at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, known as Holyrood Week or Royal Week in Scotland.
There will be a special ceremony of thanksgiving at St Giles’ Cathedral on Wednesday at which Charles will be presented with the Honours of Scotland – the nation’s crown jewels.
The King and Queen Camilla will be accompanied by Prince William and Princess Kate, whose Scottish titles are the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay.
King Charles on Monday will take part in the Ceremony of the Keys when he will be presented with the keys to the city.
Charles and Camilla are also expected to visit the Great Tapestry of Scotland, seeing a newly stitched panel dedicated to the couple.
Wednesday will be a key day during the visit with a series of events to mark the coronation.
Before the service at St Giles, there will be a Royal Procession and a People’s Procession along the Royal Mile.
The People’s Procession will consist of around 100 people representing different aspects of Scottish life.
At the head of the column will be the Shetland pony Corporal Cuachan IV, mascot of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The Stone of Destiny will be present at the ceremony in St Giles’ Cathedral, where the King will be presented with the Honours of Scotland.
Afterwards, there will be a gun salute at Edinburgh Castle and a flypast by the Red Arrows.
Edinburgh City Council has said those wishing to view the processions should plan ahead.
