THE PRIME Minister has received a mixed reception as he arrived at a service to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie arrived at the service at St Paul's Cathedral this morning, with some onlookers booing the couple as they entered the church for the Thanksgiving service.
Others attending include Nicola Sturgeon, Sir Keir Starmer, Tony Blair and his wife Cherie, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Theresa May.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are also in attendance, arriving around 11am.
The couple arrived after the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and their two children, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie along with their husbands.
Harry and Meghan held hands and were smiling broadly as they walked up the steps of the cathedral, while cheers could be heard from the crowd.
Although the crowds appear smaller than those seen at the Trooping the Colour festivities on Thursday, hundreds of people have gathered, some wearing Union Jack hats and others hanging flags and bunting over the railings on the approach to the cathedral.
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were the last royals to arrive, stopping to speak with members of the clergy before making their way inside to their seats.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, followed by Charles and Camilla, were the led in a procession to their seats in the front row of the cathedral.
The Queen will be watching the service at St Paul's on television from Windsor Castle.
She is expected to be resting at her Berkshire residence after the busy start to the Jubilee festivities on Thursday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
