King Charles recalls his mother's love for Scotland during visit

The King and his Queen Consort, who held their first joint public engagements since the Queen’s funeral, were greeted by well-wishers, before attend an official council meeting at the City Chambers.

During celebrations to mark her Platinum Jubilee in May, the late Queen conferred city status to eight communities in the United Kingdom, and Dunfermline is among the Scottish winners.

"There could be no more fitting way to mark my beloved mother's extraordinary life of service than by granting this honor to a place made famous by its own long and distinguished history and by the indispensable role it has played in the life of our country,” the King said in a speech in the City Chambers.
