The King was presented with the Honours of Scotland - the country's crown jewels - at a National Service of Thanksgiving in St Giles' Cathedral on Wednesday.

The festivities for the new King and Queen also included a people's procession, a royal procession, a 21-gun salute, and a flypast by the Red Arrows.

But outside the service, anti-monarchy protesters shouted: "Not my king."

Two women, aged 21 and 22, were arrested over an alleged breach of the peace, after reportedly attempting to climb over the crowd safety barriers along the Royal Mile.

On Thursday morning, Police Scotland confirmed they have now been charged.

The pair have been released on an undertaking to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday 11 July.

The women are believed to be members of This Is Rigged - a Scottish pressure group that hopes to curtail the oil and gas industry.

On Twitter, the group claimed the arrests were "infringing on our democratic right to protest".

A man was also arrested at the event on suspicion of theft, while another man was arrested in connection with an outstanding warrant.

Three men and a woman were also detained for alleged threatening behaviour and failing to desist. They were later issued with a recorded police warning.
