It's a shame this has been released to the media before the programme has aired.

Philippa was amazingly accurate, even though the ground had no been opened when she approached the archeologists.

The whole program was really well put together.

Great programme. A bit spooky how 'R' marked the spot :g50: :g58: Listening to the society members, they certainly have a belief in Richard III being a better monarch than the records show. As said, very well put together :g38:

It doesn't really matter that much, as none of them are related :g43:

It would be nice to see him re-buried in York Cathedral.

Looks like Leicester Cathedral is favourite for his burial.

Probably cheaper to go and see compared to York.
