	Telegraph \| News \| Gavin Vernon
		Gavin Vernon, who has died aged 77, was one of the four young Scots responsible for cheering up a jaded post-war Britain by breaking into Westminster Abbey and removing the Stone of Scone on Christmas Day 1950.
		Vernon was not involved in subsequent events, in which Hamilton collected the two pieces and had them repaired, before, several months later, the Stone was placed on the high altar of the ruined abbey of Arbroath, scene of the assertion of Scottish nationhood in 1320, known as the Declaration of Arbroath.
		The son of a doctor, Gavin Harold Russell Vernon was born at Kintore, Aberdeenshire, on August 11 1926.

	Stone of Scone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since the Act of Union of 1707, the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey has applied to the whole of Great Britain, and since the Act of Union of 1801 to the United Kingdom, so the stone may be said to have returned, once again, to its ancient use.
		On Christmas Day 1950, a group of four Scottish students (Ian Hamilton, Gavin Vernon, Kay Matheson and Alan Stuart) took the Stone from Westminster Abbey for return to Scotland.
		In the process of removing it from the Abbey, they broke it into two pieces.

	The Scots Independent Newspaper Online - The Flag in the Wind
		I see from Gavin Esler’s column in the Scotsman, devoted like many other things to Ronald Reagan’s funeral, that American scholars say that the 21 gun salute had its origin in Roman times.
		And a comment from William Keegan in the Observer, on the economic policies of Ronald Reagan, happily supported by Mrs Thatcher and her Chancellor Lord Lawson.
		Footnote : On Christmas Day 1950, four Glasgow students retrieved The Stone of Destiny from London's Westminster Abbey and after 650 years in England (pinched by Edward I of England) brought it home and gladdened the heart of every leal Scot.Sadly, one of the four, Gavin Vernon died in Canada, aged 77, in April 2004.
