    I was watching this last night and Phillipa had a bit of a moment and shed a tear.

    I am more interested to what happened to the two young children that disappeared.

    Well it's not often you get to see a burial service for a long dead King :)

    CGI. :p

    No, I'm sure lots of people are genuinely interested. As said above, it's not often we get a burial of a king.

    Thanks for the thread Billy.

    I'm very impressed by Channel 4's coverage thus far.

    I'm also quite emotional.

    Have to say, I do love that Richard's several times over great nephew made the coffin the remains have been placed in. That's a fantastic unique circular connection for the event.

    Exactly, what did happen to the 2 boys? They seem to be swerving that one.

    I think this is all far too much fuss for someone who didn't sound like a particularly nice guy.

    It's just a sign of respect. He was the king after all.

    He was medieval king. Being nice wasn't really an option.


    As for the boys, it's a mystery. Always will be.

    I noticed that , perhaps the ethnic minorities of Leicester think it's nothing to do with them, which is a shame :(

    He was no better or worse than those that went before him or came after him and yet he is the only one, with the perhaps exception of King John, to be vilified in the manner in which he has.

    Henry the 7th had a lot more reason to get rid of the Princes :(

    Shakespeare & the Tudors are partly responsible for that !
