The district of Falkirk played its part in a historic occasion for the country as Charles III was proclaimed King, following the death of Queen Elizabeth.
The short ceremony took place on the steps of Callendar House in Falkirk with members of Falkirk Council looking on as Chief Executive Kenneth Lawrie made the historic announcement.
It was one of several formal declarations that were made across the country, repeating the proclamation of the accession that was made in London on Saturday.

Mr Lawrie was joined by the Vice Lord Lieutenant of Stirling and Falkirk, Colonel Alastair Campbell.
After the proclamation, Provost Robert Bissett led the crowd who had gathered to witness the historic moment in "three cheers" for His Majesty the King.
Before the proclamation, councillors also went into the elegant drawing room of Callendar House, to add their names to the book of condolences. It is currently available to sign for anyone who wants to pay their respects to Her Majesty The Queen.
The house is open between 10 am and 5 pm each day. Falkirk Council is also inviting those who wish to leave flowers to do so by the steps on the grass area that is directly in front of the main entrance to Callendar House.
An online book of condolence has also been opened by The Royal Family.
Two meetings that were due to be held in public this week have been cancelled as a mark of respect. The Education, Children and Young People executive and the licensing board meeting will both be rescheduled for later in the month.
As the period of mourning continues, today (Monday) Provost Bissett will represent the district at the dedication and reflection which is taking place in the Scottish Parliament, attended by King Charles.
