If the burial scene had been done, they wouldn't have taken so long to find him.

I'm off for an early night. before I go crackers....

While you're all having fun making jokes about this it's worth remembering that the bones were once a human being, and that the human being was a king of some historical interest.

His remains will be buried in Leicester cathedral, which seems appropriate to me, and that will be an end to it. For me the really interesting aspect of all this is the science and technology involved in proving whose bones they were, using a DNA sample from a man in Canada.

I thought the channel 4 program tonight was a very interesting piece of television, as FE says the thing that interests me also is the science involved in the examination of the evidence and the proving beyond reasonable doubt that this skeleton was indeed that of Richard.

I believe that it is fitting for his body to receive the honour due to a King of England, and his interment in Leicester cathedral a fitting burial place.

If I was Michael Ibsen, I would already be making plans to be Michael Ibsen-Plantagenet.

That must surely be the coolest legitimate double barreled name of modern times!
