King Charles will take part in a second coronation in Scotland.

Just over a month ago, King Charles III was officially crowned as the King of England at his coronation.

The historic event was the first of its kind since Charles' mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, was crowned during her own coronation in 1953.

But another similar event is set to soon take place.

The government of Scotland has announced that the crowning of King Charles and Queen Camilla will be honoured on July 5 - during Scotland's Royal week - with special processions and a church service in Edinburgh.

The event will essentially be another coronation but with an unmistakable Scottish twist.

It will begin with the Honours of Scotland - which includes the crown of King James V of Scotland, a sceptre and a sword of state - being collected by a People's Procession "involving around 100 people representing aspects of Scottish life" from Edinburgh Castle.

This procession, along with the Royal Regiment of Scotland (the only Scottish line infantry of the British Army), will then make its way to St. Giles' Cathedral.

Meanwhile, a Royal Procession will also travel to St Giles' Cathedral from the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

Members of the public will be able to watch both processions along the Royal Mile.

Once inside the cathedral, a National Service of Thanksgiving will take place and King Charles will be presented with the Honours of Scotland.

Following the service, a 21-gun salute will be fired from Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Procession will head back to the Palace of the Holyroodhouse.

Then to conclude the event, a flypast will be performed overhead by the Red Arrows of the Royal Air Force.

Obviously, as they're the guests of honour, both King Charles and Queen Camilla will attend this 'Scottish coronation.'

It's also been confirmed that Prince William and Princess Catherine - who are known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland - will attend too.
