A block of stone with links to Scottish royalty dating back thousands of years will soon be used to crown Britain's new king. The Stone of Destiny is one of the most fascinating artefacts in Scotland's history.
When King Charles III is crowned, much like his mother Queen Elizabeth II was 70 years ago, the stone will play a vital role in his coronation.
The Stone - also known as the Stone of Scone or the Coronation Stone - was traditionally a sacred symbol of the Scottish monarchy.
