Final preparations are being made for celebrations to mark the King’s Coronation.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla will be crowned on Saturday – with a host of events planned throughout the UK to honour the occasion.
Although the coronation service will take place at Westminster Abbey, residents across Perthshire, Dundee, Angus and Fife are preparing their own celebrations.
We have put together a full list of events taking place in the region on the days before and after the King’s Coronation.
It comes after a Dundee legal expert offered advice on whether locals are entitled to a day off work for the coronation bank holiday.
