Carpark king’s reburial

-

LONDON: England’s last Yorkist king is to be laid to rest in a £ 1 million ( R15m) raised tomb.

University of Leicester archaeolog­ists found the remains of Richard III after a dig in a city car park.

Leicester Cathedral, which will raise the money for his tomb, said the design will be ready in September.

Once the Cathedral’s fabric commission approves it, the long-dead king will be re-interred next May.

However, the Plantagene­t Alliance, a group of Richard’s relatives, has applied to the UK High Court for a judicial review into the plans for the site. – Daily Mail
