King Charles has urged the people of Glasgow to come together and celebrate the city’s 850th anniversary and build an even better future.

The King sent the message as the city starts to celebrate its 850th year with a whole host of events to take place through 2025.

He has described Glasgow as one of the most ‘diverse’ cities in Scotland and the UK, as well as beyond, and told residents they are ‘privileged’ to call the city their home.

He repeated the city’s ‘people make Glasgow’ catchphrase and shared his belief that it will continue to evolve as the year’s progress.

In his message, the King said: “Both the Queen and I wanted to extend our most heartfelt congratulations to you all as Glasgow celebrates its 850th Anniversary. It goes without saying that people really do make Glasgow.

“As one of the most diverse cities in Scotland and beyond, it is entirely fitting that the celebrations to mark this milestone are equally vibrant, demonstrating the rich culture, heritage and captivating history of your ever-evolving city.

“I hope that Glaswegians, new and old, can come together throughout this year to reflect on centuries of resilience, enterprise and shared achievements, all of which, I am sure, will guide you towards an even more prosperous future.

“On this special occasion, I join all of you who have had the privilege of calling Glasgow your home, whether that be for a fleeting moment or for an entire lifetime, in repeating with wholehearted enthusiasm your magnificent city’s rousing motto: Let Glasgow Flourish.”
