Here’s a wander down memory lane to King Charles III in Glasgow
As King Charles III prepares for his Coronation at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, the former Duke of Rothesay has visited Glasgow on a number of occasions throughout the decades.
He has attended a number of high-profile events in the city such as the 2014 Commonwealth Games, COP26 and officially opened the Glasgow Garden Festival back in 1988.
In his capacity as King, he made a visit to Glasgow’s Burrell Collection last year to officially open the newly revamped building.
