The Stone of Scone was under the coronation chair at Westminster:

But in the 1990's the English gave it back to the Scots. It is now in Edinborough Castle. Supposedly, it will be sent back to Westminster for the coronation of the next monarch, which hopefully won't be horseface.

Scone (”skoon”) was stolen in the 1950s, was missing for some years, and then supposedly returned in the, hmm, 1970s? Some claim that the real stone wasn’t returned.
