16th March 1485

As we all know this is the date Queen Anne died at Westminster Palace

On the plaque in Westminster Abbey close to where she is buried:-

"In person she was seemly, amiable and beautious ....... And according to the
interpretation of her name Anne full gracious"

Rest in peace
Eileen

One of the saddest of day to remember, but one never to be forgotten.
I shall visit her tomorrow (that is the 16th in the U.K) and spend
some time with her in the Abbey.

Speaking of Westminster Abbey - you may recall a few weeks ago, on the news & inthe
press, the coffin of Edward the Confessor had been found along with, I am sure they said.
'other royal coffins' - could it be one of these was the coffin of |Anne? It seems you hear
these interesting snippits on the news etc., and then .... nothing!! Why dont they, the
authorities who run the abbey for example, let the public know what is going on. After all
it is our heritage we are talking about here.

Further regarding the abbey, burials/tombs etc., I think a lot of people, certainly me at one
time, thought that the actual monument was where the actual remains were. These
monuments are described for example as 'the tomb of Henry Vll or Elizabeth 1' and people
stand there gazing, somberly, at where they think the coffin lies, but in actual fact they
dont. They lie in crypts or whatever you want to call them,beneath the abbey and away
from that spot. For example Edward the Confessor was nowhere near his 'tomb'. In fact
the way I understand it is they, the abbey authorities sometimes dont even have a clue as
to where the actual remains lie. Which is certainly a fact in Anne's case. On the other
hand I recall that someones bones, maybe Richard ll, an arm bone I believe, was stolen by
a naughty schoolboy in the 17th century and eventually returned by one of decendents.
So in that case the remains must have been in the tomb/monument. Confused - yes I
am!!
