ACTOR Christopher Eccleston has given his take on the coronation with a post on Instagram.
The 59-year-old, known for starring in Doctor Who, posted an image with the caption: “Thank god I kept that bunting from the jubilee last year.”
Below it was an image showing pieces of paper spelling out “f**k off”.
The actor has previously been outspoken when it comes to the monarchy and is known for his belief in abolishing the royal family.
Many replied to the post with one saying they were “waiting” to see the actor’s take. “My Doctor”, added another.
A third said they “knew the Eccleston post would be good” while another added: “I knew you were my favourite actor for a reason”.
Charles has now officially been crown as monarch and prayed to be a “blessing” to people of “every faith and conviction”.
Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf attended the ceremony while some gathered at a screening in Princes Street Gardens to watch the ceremony.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
