LIVESTREAMING: Proclamation ceremonies for Charles III held across the UK

Special events and parades are taking place as Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland mark the proclamation of King Charles III and tributes are paid to the Queen.

This is happening as the Queen’s cortege travels from Balmoral to Holyroodhouse.

The proclamation announcements are right now being read in Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast.

Afterwards, 21-gun salutes will take place outside Edinburgh Castle, Cardiff Castle and Hillsborough Castle in Belfast.

Thousands of people have been gathering at all three locations to witness the moment marking the accession of the UK’s new head of state.
