The stone, an ancient symbol of Scotlandis monarchy, will play a central role in the Coronation of The King in the Abbey on May 6. In 1296, King Edward I brought the stone to Westminster. He placed it within the Coronation Chair, the oak seat he commissioned in 1300-1301 and which has been the centre piece of coronations for more than 700 years. In 1996, the UK government announced that the stone would return to Scotland, but would come back to the Abbey for coronations. (Image: Reuters)
