Conservative councillor Kerr said: “I am thoroughly looking forward to hosting this coronation event in my ward on Saturday.
“The coronation of King Charles is a perfect opportunity for our community in Shettleston to come together and celebrate His Majesty.
“I know that this event will showcase Shettleston’s community spirit at its very best and be fit for a King. Here is hoping that the sun is shining on Saturday.”
Councillor Kerr added: “Everyone is welcome – please bring along your friends, family and neighbours to celebrate this momentous occasion.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
