Woman arrested after holding ‘abolish monarchy’ sign in Edinburgh
A woman was arrested holding an anti-monarchy sign in Edinburgh today, before the Queen’s cortege arrived in the city.
She was detained outside St Giles’ Cathedral, where the monarch’s coffin is due to be held from tomorrow after spending the night at the Palace of
Holyroodhouse.
Moments before the proclamation of Charles III as new king this afternoon, a demonstrator appeared in the crowd opposite the Mercat Cross.
She held a sign saying ‘f*** imperialism, abolish monarchy’.
Officers appeared behind her and took her away, prompting the crowd to applaud.
