C is for Crown Jewels

These are the crowns and other precious things which kings and queens wear or use when they are crowned, open Parliament or take part in other special events. There are lots of crowns which were made for different British kings and queens in the past. 

One sceptre (a long wand with jewels) has the largest diamond in the world. It was cut from the enormous Cullinan diamond. You can visit the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London.
