For the textual and interpersonal analyses, see Halliday & Matthiessen (2004: 97, 157).

For the experiential analysis, the reasoning is as follows:

• for Token-Value structure, compare the agnate clause: John represents the one that I love where John functions as (the less abstract) Token (see Halliday & Matthiessen 2004: 231);
• for Identifier-Identified structure, consider the probe: Which represents the one that I love?; that is, the one that I love is identified by John, so John functions as the Identifier (see Halliday & Matthiessen 2004: 228).  Also, in the unmarked case, the Identifier conflates with the New information, as it does here (Halliday & Matthiessen 2004: 229).

The conflation of Token/Identifier and Value/Identified occurs in encoding identifying clauses.  In such clauses, the identity encodes the Value by reference to the Token, so in this clause, the identity encodes it…that I love by reference to John (see Halliday & Matthiessen (2004: 230).

Complement Realised As Prepositional Phrase

the only time the ceremony has been interrupted in the last 700 years	was	during the Second World War
Value/Location	Process	Token/Location
Subject	Finite	Complement

Reasoning:

If 'a Complement is an element within the Residue that has the potential of being Subject but is not' (Halliday & Matthiessen 2004: 122), and 'an Adjunct is an element that has not got the potential of being Subject' (op cit: 123), then the 'circumstance as participant' during the Second World War functions as Complement, not Adjunct, despite the fact that a Complement 'is typically realised by a nominal group' (ibid), since it has the potential of being Subject, as the following agnate clause demonstrates:

during the Second World War was the only time the ceremony has been interrupted in the last 700 years (wasn't it?)

during the Second World War	was	the only time the ceremony has been interrupted in the last 700 years
Token/Location	Process	Value/Location
Subject	Finite	Complement

See also Fig. 5-26 (op cit: 244).

Circumstantial Adjunct

their extensive and well-preserved remains	stand	in spectacular natural surroundings
Carrier	Process	Attribute: circumstantial
Subject	Finite/Predicator	Adjunct

Note that a circumstantial Attribute is Adjunct, not Complement.  Compare:

it	has	a perpendicular nave, 12th-century Gothic choir, stunning stained glass windows and a Romanesque crypt
Carrier	Process	Attribute: possessed
Subject	Finite/Predicator	Complement

Non-Finite Dependent Clause With No Verb

With free entry to over 30 of the city’s top attractions, free return airport and city centre bus transport, a free guidebook and lots of exclusive offers the Edinburgh Pass is the best way to explore the Scottish capital.

As Halliday & Matthiessen (2014: 490) point out:

There is one type of non-finite dependent clause which is often not recognised because it has no verb in it; for example, with no-one in charge, with everyone so short of money.  These are in fact ‘attributive relational’ clauses, with zero alternation of the non-finite verb being (less commonly they may be identifying, eg with that the only solution).  The verb be will always be present in the agnate finite clause (eg since no-one is in charge); and in the non-finite it is always possible to insert being, with very little difference in meaning.

So, on this basis, the analysis would be

With	free entry to over 30 of the city’s top attractions, free return airport and city centre bus transport, a free guidebook and lots of exclusive offers	the Edinburgh Pass	is	the best way to explore the Scottish capital
x β		α
	Attribute	Token	Process	Value

Cf the agnate enhancing (causal: reason) non-finite clause:

Providing	free entry to over 30 of the city’s top attractions, free return airport and city centre bus transport, a free guidebook and lots of exclusive offers
Process	Attribute

Cf the agnate enhancing (causal: reason) finite clause:

Because	it	provides	free entry to over 30 of the city’s top attractions, free return airport and city centre bus transport, a free guidebook and lots of exclusive offers
	Carrier	Process	Attribute

Qualitative Process Clause With Assignment

It	saves	you	from infections
Attributor	Process/Attribute	Carrier	Contingency

Reasoning:

This clause construes a caused relation: 'x being safe' — not a material act of rescue.
