King Charles' coronation to feature historic return of Stone of Destiny
The Stone of Destiny is being returned from Scotland to England for the first time in over a quarter of a century. It will participate in King Charles' coronation next Saturday, where it will be placed beneath the Coronation Chair at Westminster Abbey. The significant symbol of Scottish nationhood was taken back to Scotland in 1996 - having been held in England for most of the 700 years before that.
