Windsor rethink needed.
Windsor rethink needed.
Having seen the huge interest in King Richard's re-interment maybe the current Royal family may consider sending a more senior royal to tomorrow's service. If not then the very least they can do is re-write the content of the Monarchy web page where it states Richard, "The Usurper". If Richard was then Henry V11 most certainly was as well. Something they fail to mention.
If it doesn't change then perhaps a petition could be set up to ask them to reconsider.
Very much looking forward to tomorrow but prepared with a big box of tissues!

Yes it will be sad,,,try to remember too it is a triumph. For Richard to be rescued from a car park and get a tomb that we all can visit...also he will not have to share his tomb as Henry Vll does with a gooseberry...i.e. they shoved James 1st in the vault with him and EoY...something that never fails to tickle me...Eileen

As HT was well known for being parsimonious..except when it came to his own funeral which cost an unprecedented £7,000..natch...I expect he's been spitting feathers these last 500 years...that they had the gall to shove Wee Jimmy, renouned for his habit of dribbling,,into said tomb which cost an estimated £1,257 6s 8d..I think I have a warped sense of humour because I find it hilarious and let's face it..there's not a lot to find funny about HT is there...?

You know despite all the 'debate' this week, no-one has said one good word for HT have they? They even took his standard down. He must indeed be spitting or being nagged by ma that he should somehow have staged a comeback in the age of mass media. Imagine him spending eternity with MB :) What really gets me though is how they keep saying that the modern age began with him. Even the more sensible historians speak as though Richard spent his life running round in armour and infer that when HT came in the world changed to John Lewis and carpet slippers. Really wish they'd do their homework. H
