New city keyed up for the Queen

The Queen received the keys to Perth as thousands gathered to welcome her to Scotland’s newest city.

The monarch was presented with the keys to the city at the Viewpoint overlooking the River Tay.

She arrived with the Duke of Edinburgh, who was given the Freedom of the City, on the final day of her week-long residence in Scotland.

Perth became Scotland’s seventh city when it was granted the status earlier this year as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
