Hang on… the writer only got to see the back of the King’s head from a distance, but ends up shaking his hand? Did he forget what he’d written at the beginning of the piece?
I’ll forgive him though, due to his use of the phrase “a one thousand-smartphone salute”.
Thanks, I was about to make a similar comment but noticed you beat me to it.

Some years ago, I was travelling to Perth from Cheshire and we travelled by coach. En route we stopped in Dunfermline and I remember thinking “This is the most miserable place I have ever seen”.

The King sat in Dunfermline town
Drinking the blood red wine
Oh where shall I find a guid sailor
To sail this ship of mine…….
