Dozens were left disappointed as the stream failed
Onlookers at Glasgow Cathedral were left gutted when the screens cut off before King Charles was crowned. The iconic church hosted revellers during a live stream of the event from Westminster Abbey when the TVs went blank at the pivotal moment.
The screen burst back to life as "God Save The King" blared over the speakers, before cutting out again. Several of the crowd then packed up and left as members of staff on the door apologised, reports the Record.One couple were spotted watching the remainder of the event on a laptop in a vehicle. The 21-year-old said: "It couldn't have happened at a worse time, right at the crowning. At the most important part of the whole thing it started to glitch.
Matthew Trainer had travelled from Springburn to mark the occasion but was left gutted when he missed the big moment. The 74-year-old said: "I wanted to mark the occasion rather than sitting at home and it was terrific while it was functioning. It was a brilliant idea - but the IT was a big let down."
