A skeleton found under a car park and suspected to be that of King Richard 111 is to be revealed to the public today, along with the results of dna tests.

They say it is all going to be done tastefully, but in that pic there appears to be two reenactors dressed up and messing about by the grave, so I don't hold out much hope.....

It is him. So England has another dead King to add to the list. There is live coverage here:

I can't help wishing a little of all this media attention could be given to England's mass of more ordinary, but much more recent, missing and unidentified people. Ah well.

ETA: Have I got my kings wrong or is this the one who was supposed to have locked up his two young nephews in a tower and had them murdered? Those little ones' remains were recovered from underneath some steps. If it was him, he was best left under the car park, imo.
