UK Queen attends Order of the Thistle service

(7 Jul 2016) Britain's Queen Elizabeth, and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, on Thursday attended an Order of the Thistle church service in Scotland's capital.
The royal couple, draped in ceremonial robes, were joined by Princess Anne and Prince William for the thanksgiving service at St Giles Cathedral.
Hundreds of wellwishers lined Edinburgh's Royal Mile to catch a glimpse of the party as they entered the cathedral to a trumpet fanfare.
The Order of the Thistle recognises men and women who have held public office or who have contributed in a significant way to Scottish life.
It is the highest honour in Scotland and the second highest in the UK, preceded only by the Order of the Garter.
