Stone of Destiny arrives in London for the King's Coronation this weekend

The fabled Stone of Destiny left Edinburgh Castle for the first time since 1996 and arrived in London for the enthronement of King Charles III.

The Scone sandstone relic was transported from the Crown Room under tight security and will be placed beneath the Coronation Chair at Westminster Abbey for the May 6 ceremony.

In preparation for its temporary departure, a ceremonial procession took place from the castle’s Great Hall on Friday, led by the Lord Lyon King of Arms - the monarch’s representative in Scotland.
