Where to bury Richard III


Recommended Posts

Well, they could always build a car park over the grave as a monument. :hihi:

 

It's just history upgraded.

 

Instead of: "A horse, a horse - my kingdom for a horse!"

 

You could have: "A parking slot, a parking slot - a King's ransom to bloody park!"

 

After all, it is York.

And:

 

Richard

Of

York

Gained

Battles

In

Vain.

Well, it's just been confirmed on the news that the skeleton found under the council car park is that of Richard III.

 

Does that mean that Elizabeth II will be receiving a parking ticket, or invoice, for the period when Richard wasn't displaying a valid ticket?

Skeletons dug up by archaeologists have to be buried within two years at the closest cemetery to where they were found. This has caused a lot of upset amongst archaeologists, but those are the rules at present so Leicester Cathedral it is then.
