In a ceremony in Dunfermline city chambers, the King said he was “delighted” when it was announced the town would become a city. He said he hoped people would feel a “real sense of pride in this new chapter.”
After the ceremony, they will visit Dunfermline Abbey to mark its 950th anniversary and will meet with representatives from Historic Scotland to learn about the history of the local area and the conservation of the site. Eight places have won city status as part of the late monarch’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Dunfermline’s bid for the status was based on its heritage and its historic status as an ancient seat of royal power, but also one of the fastest-growing towns in Europe.
What’s more, the King and his wife Camilla will also host a reception at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh on Monday to celebrate British South Asian communities.
They will meet with between 200 and 300 guests of British Indian, Pakistani, Bangladesh, Sri Lankan, Nepalese, Bhutanese, and Maldivian heritage from across the UK. The event will recognize the contribution many from these communities have made to the National Health Service, arts, media, education, business, and the Armed Forces. King Charles will also hold an investiture ceremony for a small group of local people, his first as monarch.
