An EU referendum, tax cuts and more powers for Scotland are among the measures unveiled in the first Conservative-only Queen's Speech in nearly two decades.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the "One Nation" package was a "clear programme for working people, social justice and bringing our country together".
Ukip's only Member of Parliament Douglas Carswell has said he genuinely feared for his life after being surrounded by a "lynch mob" of anti-austerity protesters as he tried to leave Westminster following the Queen's Speech.
Mr Carswell said the group that shouted abuse at him as he waited for a bus appeared to have "pretty murderous" intent before he was escorted by officers into the back of a police van as demonstrations turned nasty.
He was caught up in one of several violent flashpoints as he waited for public transport not far from the House of Commons.
The party said the flower was worn in homage to poet Hugh MacDiarmid who wrote the ode 'The Little White Rose of Scotland'.
An EU referendum, more Scottish powers and tax freezes - but Cameron stopped short of scrapping the Human Rights Act, for now.
More powers for Wales, a ban on income tax rises and more free childcare are at the heart of the Conservative's Queen's Speech.
