[Shelley123]

pb George III please

[lynz85]

i dont have a clue!! poor eileen... im about to piggy back her again!!

[angieh]

I know Wikepedia isn't always to be relied upon (although it is getting better). This is what they say:-

"In 1941, the Honours were hidden due to fears that they might be lost should there be a German invasion during World War II. In 1953, they were taken out of hiding and presented to the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth and then returned to the Crown Room of Edinburgh Castle.

When the Stone of Scone was returned to Scotland in 1996, it also was placed in the Crown Room, alongside the Honours.

In May 1999, at the first sitting of the devolved Scottish Parliament, in October 2004 at the opening of the new Scottish Parliament Building, and at subsequent opening ceremonies of each new Session of the Scottish Parliament the Crown of Scotland has been present alongside the Monarch. Due to their age and condition the Sword and the Sceptre are considered too delicate to be present alongside the Crown at such occasions."

[pamela81]

lol i was going to pb too!!! my guess was just random!!!

[dandysmom]

To paraphrase the quotation: "She ain'r heavy, she's my sister...."" :D PB all you want... I've been lucky tonight knowing answers...
