  Is that a stone under the seat?

• Brooke Stewart said:

  This is amazing: King Edward's Chair, sometimes known as St Edward's Chair or The Coronation Chair, is the throne on which the British monarch sits for the coronation. It was commissioned in 1296 by King Edward I to contain the coronation stone of Scotland — known as the Stone of Scone — which he had captured from the Scots who had kept it at Scone Abbey. The chair was named after England's only canonized king, Edward the Confessor, and was kept in his shrine of St Edward's Chapel at Westminster Abbey. This article can be found at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Edward's_Chair

• BobMeade said:

  Yes, amazing. Nowadays, the Stone of Scone is no longer there, having been repatriated to Scotland: www.royal.gov.uk/output/page2015.asp The rest of the chair can be seen in Westminster Abbey, and will surely feature during the next Coronation.

• br@mbly said:

  Returned to Scotland in 1996. And if you think it will be returned to England for the next Coronation ... hmm...

• BobMeade said:

  Nah, I didn't mean the Stone of Scone, I meant that the chair will be used for the Coronation.

  The wallpaper could have been changed for such an occassion, nearly as dreary as the moustaches!!!!!

• Christine Curtin said:

  It looks like a scene from a musical, excellent.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Christine Curtin And have you spotted the rather random cello/double bass perched up in the left hand corner?

• SunshineImages said:

  The man with the white beard could possibly be E.P. O'Kelly as he looks very similar to the photo in Paul Gorry's 'Baltinglass Chronicles'. He was the Wicklow MP in Redmond's Home Rule party. Does anyone know who's who in this photo
