Nicola Sturgeon (pictured top right with the Lord Provost of Dunfermline) today received a frosty reception as she arrived for a historic city-making ceremony in Dunfermline. The Scottish First Minister was loudly booed by parts of the crowd (pictured left) - and cheered by others - as she smiled and waved to fellow Scots outside Dunfermline City Chambers this morning. Crowds had gathered outside the historic building to catch a glimpse of King Charles (pictured bottom right) and Queen Consort Camilla - who are attending a city-making ceremony there today. Dunfermline, which is just across the Forth estuary from the Scottish capital Edinburgh, was granted city status earlier this year as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. But the Monarch died last month, at the age of 96, before the ceremony to mark the honour could take place. Today, Charles, who ascended the throne last month following the death of his mother, will be among those attending the ceremony.
