For those interested in the archeological dig for Richard III's bones in
Leicester, I heard from Philippa Langley that our efforts to get Channel
4 to film the dig has worked--YAY!!!! She also sent me the link for the
latest news and press releases here at the University of Leicester

HI
Here's more:

If Richard's remains are found, then, maybe the Richard III Society will give some money for an appropriate tomb? I think it would need to be in Leicester, as Westminster Abbey seems full and where was his wife buried? Her tomb also seems lost probably when Henry VII had his chapel built. It figures that he would be the fly in the ointment.

One commentator: Carrie Gracie sarcastically asked if Richard's horse might be buried there, echoing Shakespeare's fabricated view that Richard called: "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse."

I would have thought St Mary & All Saints church, Fotheringhay, would be pretty suitable...

If Richard's remains are found it has already been arranged that he will be buried in Leicester....

Well surely the tomb would be paid for by the Government?  He was the King of England after all!
