King Charles III was in Ayrshire to launch the 35th anniversary celebrations of The King’s Foundation. At the charity’s headquarters at Dumfries House, near Cumnock, on Wednesday, the King began filling a time capsule to mark the anniversary.

Designed and made in oak at the Snowdon School of Furniture, part of The King’s Foundation at Highgrove Gardens, by foundation alumni Aiden Lawley, the time capsule will eventually be buried in the grounds of Dumfries House and won’t be opened until 2125.The first item placed in the time capsule were the secateurs that King Charles III used for gardening on the estate before a letter written by the King was added.Invited guests added their own contributions to the time capsule and it will continue to be added to throughout the year.The King’s Foundation will collect items for the time capsule which individuals and groups feel represent the achievements and legacy of the foundation.Over the past 35 years, the foundation has carried out various community regeneration projects and education programmes in traditional skills as well as advocating for living in harmony with nature.The King’s Foundation at 35 is a project which will run across 2025.Left intentionally plain, the design of the time capsule celebrates the British timber used and gives space for other students and alumni to add decorative elements throughout the year.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.The Ayrshire Live app is available
