They've missed an important point. Tamara found a photo' which shows
Richard's lower jaw from the rear, which shows a damned great notch cut into
the back edge on the right, in a position which doesn't show when seen from
the front. It's difficult to interpret a blow in this position other than
that they really did cut his throat - which is good because it's a nice
quick way to die, it means he probably didn't suffer very much.

I don't see how his crown, as such, could have been driven into his skull -
it would have been on the outside of his helmet, and softer metal than the
helmet. Part of the helmet yes maybe, if it was badly dented. They must
have smashed or cut or prised the helmet off to inflict some of the other
wounds.

"Richard III's remains should be buried in York, alongside his family. "
 
For crying out loud.  This is the Telegraph so I really would expect better.  Where has this ridiculous idea that Anne and Edward are both already in York come from?
 
I can't access the comments or I'd be making that point there.
 
Liz

Well Liz, he is the Science Correspondent so what can you expect? However, presumably he is relatively bright, so I would expect him to do do some basic research.
