Queen to mark devolution
THE Queen is to mark the tenth anniversary of devolution in Scotland with a visit to the Holyrood Parliament, it was announced yesterday.
She will address MSPs in Holyrood's debating chamber in Edinburgh on 1 July, ten years after she opened the new parliament on the day it received full legislative powers.
Five years later, she opened the new Scottish Parliament building, which was completed late and millions of pounds over budget.
During her visit, the Queen will later meet ten year olds born on 1 July, 1999.
