Is there anything better than the impressive roar of the Red Arrows and their iconic smoke trails?
King Charles doesn’t appear to think so.
On a day full of smiles – particularly when he laid his hand on the impressive Elizabeth Sword as it was presented to him – there was in-fact one reaction from Charles that may have gone unnoticed.
And you can certainly be forgiven if you missed it.
Following the lavish mini-coronation ceremony at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh today, nine Hawk jets from the Royal Air Force’s aerobatic team soared above the Royal Mile.
Queen Camilla watched on alongside her husband as the aircraft flew in a V formation with their famous red, white and blue colours streaming out behind them.
The Royal Family shared a short video filmed from inside the doors of the Palace of Holyroodhouse that captured the momentous flypast.

Just as they zoom past, Charles can be seen turning to his wife and making a little jig, seemingly still in awe at the spectacular show, even at the age of 74.
There was something very youthful, exuberant and joyful about his giddy reaction as the Red Arrows made their way through the skies of the Scottish capital.
It might only have been a subtle reaction – but we think it’s proof enough that Charles really enjoyed that one.

Even more so, it shows that the child in all of us never truly leaves.
The Royal Family said on Twitter: ‘A flying finale to a wonderful day – thanks to the RAF Red Arrows!’
Earlier in the day, Charles was presented with the Scottish crown jewels at a lavish ceremony.
He was handed the Sword of State, sceptre and the crown worn by Mary Queen of Scots in 1543 – all of which are symbols of his authority in Scotland.

Thousands had gathered to watch pipe bands march through the city centre as part of the procession.
Spectators watched it make its way from Edinburgh Castle to the cathedral – a group around 100 strong, reflecting all aspects of Scottish society from the arts and politics, to education, civil society and business, including charities which the King supports as patron.
At its head was Shetland pony Corporal Cruachan IV, regimental mascot of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Scotland’s leading figures, and representatives from the nation’s life gathered for a service of thanksgiving and dedication for the King and Queen.

As well as William and Kate, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, it was also attended by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and Sophie.
The service came eight weeks after Charles and Camilla were crowned in an ancient ceremony at Westminster Abbey where the King made a pledge to ‘serve’.
The Right Reverend Sally Foster-Fulton, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, delivered the sermon.
The Rt Rev Foster-Fulton concluded by telling the King and Queen: ‘Your Majesties, you have made it part of your mission to speak alongside creation, advocating for it.
‘As we present the Honours of Scotland to you, we commit ourselves to walking that journey with you.
‘We are all a small part of something so much bigger – this beautiful, sacred creation and everyone and everything in it. Thanks be to God.’

When stories about the cost of living crisis and other tough subjects are getting you down, at least you can rely on pictures of baby animals to cheer you up.
Edinburgh Zoo is celebrating today as it announced the arrival of its first penguin chick of the year – an endangered northern rockhopper.
The marine birds start out looking much less sleek than their parents due to their baby feathers, meaning this little one appears even more fluffy and adorable.
The new arrival, which hasn’t been named by zookeepers yet, hatched on April 26 and is the first to arrive this breeding season.
Michael Livingstone, senior keeper at Edinburgh Zoo, said: ‘Northern rockhopper penguins are endangered due to climate change, changes in marine ecosystems and overfishing, so it is really exciting to welcome a new chick.
‘The first 30 days are critical for their development, so we will be keeping a close eye on the youngster at this sensitive time.’
The zoo, which is also home to king and gentoo penguins, has worked to protect the northern rockhopper for many years.
They’re one of the smaller penguin species, growing to about 50cm in height, and their red eyes, orange beak, pink feet and yellow and black feathers on their heads help them stand out.

Baby rockhoppers aren’t born with the orange beak or yellow feathers – the colour develops as they age.
As they normally live in harsh, rocky environments, rockhoppers can’t slide on their bellies like other penguins so they hop from one place to another – hence their name.

Even though the rockhopper is one of the world’s most numerous penguin populations, their population has declined by 30% in the last 30 years.
The baby was born to proud parents Pinny and Bruce and will join a growing colony of rockhoppers at the zoo, which welcomed chicks Sandy and Frankie last year.
