http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-31990721 A ceremony is taking place at the University of Leicester ahead of the reburial of Richard III. The cortege is due to depart the university at about 11:40 and will pass places in Leicestershire associated with the former king, who died at Bosworth in 1485. The coffin is set to reach Leicester Cathedral at 17:35 GMT, where he will be finally reinterred on Thursday. Richard's skeleton was found in 2012, in an old friary beneath a car park. A special morning service was held at the cathedral and a vigil was staged by a local re-enactment group at the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre earlier. Well, it's good to see that he's being buried in Leicester Cathedral. It's probably a more appropriate place than under a car park! |

True, unless it was whatever the 1485 equivalent of a car park was....a stable, I guess ?

Yeah, I guess . Anyway, it turns out that quite a lot of the locals wanted to see him at Leicester Cathedral. They were prepared to queue for hours! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-32014296 |

ah well that would be a good reason as well, still hopefully he once again doesn't get buried in a future car park! |

Maybe . Anyway, he's been re-buried in Leicester Cathedral now:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-32085532 Certainly a much more fitting location than a car park! |
