City of Kingston waiting for coronation before hanging portraits of King Charles III
Global News
The City is now drafting a standard operating procedure about when to change the picture of a monarch from the past one to the currently reigning one.
While the queen’s portrait still hangs in Kingston’s city council chambers, it does not at legion 631 in Kingston, Ont.’s west end.
However, a photo of King Charles III is already up, adorning the legion’s hall.
“I went on the internet just to see what I could find of King Charles and I said that should be ok to put up until we get the official portrait from the government,” said branch president Tom Briggs.
Briggs said he wasn’t going rogue, but that he was following clear instructions that came down from legion command.
“They said if you don’t have a picture of the King that’s decent for a portrait, use the queen’s portrait with a poppy in the bottom left corner and that signifies that she’s passed away,” Briggs said.
However, it was less clear for Miranda Riley, the City of Kingston’s civic collection technician.
“There was no official city protocol that I could find,” she said.
This left Riley with a bit of homework and improvising.
