Royal Voluntary Service volunteers and manager, Kirstie Inglis, at Forth Valley Royal Hospital organised the event in the cafe area to mark tomorrow’s coronation of King Charles III.

Kirstie said: “We have been celebrating the coronation with all our wonderful volunteers, staff, patients and visitors alike. It’s also been a fundraising day as Queen Camilla is our new patron at the RVS.”
