Description
The Stone of Destiny will return to England for the first time in more than a quarter of a century to play a key part in King Charles' coronation.
On its first outing south of the border since it was officially returned to Scotland after 700 years by then prime minister John Major in 1996, it will be transported under tight security before being placed beneath the Coronation Chair at Westminster Abbey.
It has become the symbol of Scottish nationhood but for 700 years, with the exception of just a few short months, it remained hundreds of miles away in London.
