who dig up yams put part of the yam back in the hole vaulted chamber of the Tower of London where Henry was Im prisoned and murdered are housed the Crown Jewels which will figure in the Coronation cer emony in June Visitors gaze spellbound at the lustrous gold orbs the Royal Sceptre containing the largest cut diamond in the world and the fabulous Imperial State Crown which contains diamonds pearls sapphires emer alds and rubies These however are only a few of the Items constituting the Roy al Regalia which include St Edwards Staff the Spoon and Ampulla the Golden Spurs the State Swords the Orb Ring Sceptres and the Crowns Their value cannot be stated because obviously they would never be put up for sale but cer tainly they are worth intrinsi cally many millions of dollars a fine haul for a burglar if he were rash enough to risk electro cution or decapitation two penal ties which it is rumored would have to be faced by a prospective thief The Crown Jewels have had their vicissitudes Once the Re galia were housed in Westminster Abbey but bits and pieces had a habit of disappearing Following an attempt to rob the Abbey in the reign of Henry III the jewels were removed to the Tower of London the Impregnable strong hold by the River Thames which took nearly 200 years to build between and Even at the Tower of London the jewels were still a tempta tion An Irish adventurer Col onel Blood wheedled his way in to the confidence of the assistant keeper overpowered him with the help of two accomplices and nearly got away with the State Crown and Orb The sequel was strange for instead of being exe cuted the thief was rewarded by King Charles with a pension of a year a large sum in those days What was the catch It is sus pected that Charles being short of cash had staged the rob bery himself to get possession of the jewels and dared not allow Colonel Blood to be punished for fear he should turn resentful and tell the truth Most people assume that all the Regalia are of great anti quity This however is not the case During the Commonwealth regime of Oliver Cromwell from to the priceless relics which for six centuries had fig ured in the crowning of Eng lands were broken The

The Orb of State delivered in to the Queens hands during the Coronation represents independ ent sovereignty under the Cross The Orb used today was made for King Charles II and consists of a globe of
