Day 1 of #HolyroodWeek: The Queen is welcomed to the Palace of Holyroodhouse with a Guard of Honour from the Balaklava Company, The Argyll and Sunderland Highlanders, 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (5 SCOTS), ahead of the traditional 'Ceremony of the Keys'. The Ceremony is a very ancient ritual that happens every time the Sovereign visits the City. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh presents The Queen with the keys of the City, who then returns the keys and says: "I return these keys, being perfectly convinced that they cannot be placed in better hands than those of the Lord Provost and Councillors of my good City of Edinburgh".
