700-year-old Coronation chair is being restored for King Charles III

[Blackleaf]

The 700-year-old oak chair, upon which King Henry VIII, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II were all crowned, is being restored for the crowning of King Charles III on Saturday 6th May.

As is traditional, the Stone of Scone will be brought down from Scotland to be placed in the gap under the chair and above the lions for the Coronation.

Well, those lions by his feet would keep him from “Man Spreading” I guess.

When chair and king are the same age.

Brexit must be going really badly if they can't even get him a new chair.

The Stone of Scone (pronounced "scoon"), aka the Stone of Destiny, is placed under St Edward's Chair during coronations.

Oak chair needs new oak and stone of scone.

All chair parts will be Diablo items, as well.

Luciano's next to Bolton Wanderers' University of Bolton Stadium is a great place to go if you want a scone of stone.
