Richard III

[OwlHoot]

I hope they give him a quick burial at sea, or his body might become a shrine for Yorkie fundamentalists.

That's why he'll be reburied in Leicester Cathedral instead of York Minster.

(Well, plus the fact he already has a large memorial stone in Leicester)

Where in the body is it, this Richard the Third?

Are we talking cockney rhyming slang by any chance?

[NickFitz]

Just read a piece saying he lay "literally in the shadow of" Leicester Cathedral.

His grave is almost due south of the cathedral.

Just hearing that ATOS have declared him fit for work.

Just read a piece saying he lay "literally in the shadow of" Leicester Cathedral.

Bit of useless background information - it didn't become a Cathedral until 1927 - think they must have forgotten about it

Due to be re branded as a Temple circa 2035

[OwlHoot]

did you know, he is the only person, apart from Harold Bluetooth, to have a body part named after him

Not strictly true - There are Richard the Thirds, granted, but then at the opposite extreme there are the galloping Henries.

Didn't Paul Langerhans have a body part named after him?
