00:00 The parade centred on the presentation of the key for Edinburgh Castle as part of the
00:14 Royal Visit tradition and meeting with members of the services.
00:21 The 96-year-old arrived in the gardens looking happy and wearing a heather-coloured silk
00:25 wall dress and coat with a matching hat, all by Angela Kelly.
00:33 She was welcomed with the Royal Salute followed by a meet and greet with three senior representatives
00:38 from the services.
00:43 They were joined by three cadets, representing each service.
00:47 The key to the castle was then presented to the Queen by Major General Alistair Bruce
00:51 of Crinnock, Governor of Edinburgh Castle, who was assisted by three service cadets at
00:56 the palace's Aquarius door.
01:02 The Major General addressed the Queen, saying, "We, the serving members of Your Majesty's
01:07 Armed Forces, bound by our oath to you, your heirs and successors, offer for your gracious
01:12 acceptance the key to Your Majesty's Royal Castle of Edinburgh."
01:20 To which she responded, "I return this key to the safekeeping of my Governor of Edinburgh
01:24 Castle, in gratitude for the symbolic act of loyalty of our Armed Forces, confident
01:30 of your faithful allegiance to your oath."
01:36 Three cheers for the Queen were then given by members of the Armed Forces before a pipe
01:40 tune composed for the Platinum Jubilee called "Dear Ragnari" was played as she waved
01:44 goodbye and returned to the palace.
01:50 The act of loyalty and presentation of the key to Edinburgh Castle marked the 200th anniversary
01:55 of King George IV's visit to Scotland in 1822.
02:01 Later, the Princess Royal presented honours in an investiture ceremony at the palace.
02:12 Among those recognised were James Magoldrick, the Assistant General Secretary of the United
02:17 Nations, and Ross McEwan, the Chief Executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland.
