This is the coronation stone Lia-Fail when it was removed from under St. Edward's coronation chair. It weighs
336 pounds. One can see the wear of the stone near its rings implying the great distance over the years this stone was carried.
It's dimensions are about 10.5 x 16 x 26 inches and would be about the right size for use as Jacob's pillow.
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save The Queen.
Send her victorious,
Happy and
glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save The Queen.
O Lord our God, arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their
knavish tricks;
On thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign.
May she defend our laws,
And
ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save The Queen.
Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That
men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over.
From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's
sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!
