Coronation Crowns are not only works of exquisite craftsmanship, but they are also symbols of power and objects marked by history. This video addresses the history and meaning of the Crown of St Edward and the Imperial State Crown of the United Kingdom.

Some 65 or more years ago, my father subscribed to a book club, which gave him a new book each month, and the another club which gave him each quarter a large volume containing compressed/digested parts of 4 newly published books. One of these contained an account by one of the "thieves" of the Imperial State Crown in the early 1950's. My memory is that the theft followed the coronation of Elizabeth II but I don't want to swear to that. The "thieves" were wanting to publicise the cause of Scottish independence. Well, they got the publicity but it was none too favourable. Thanks for your series of videos, I've been finding them very interesting, as well as containing a fair bit of nostalgia for times past.

Glad you enjoyed them. There have been a few attempts to steal the Crown Jewels, but not recently. I think you might be thinking of the theft of the Stone of Scone (which sits in the Coronation Chair). See the video on that one.

@@constitutionalclarion1901 Yes, you're right. Age is making my memory not as reliable as it once was.
