King Richard III Cortege Makes its Way Across Leicestershire
Ever since the discovery of King Richard III's remains under a car park in the centre of Leicester, there has been a campaign to give the much maligned king a reburial fit for royalty.
The events of Sunday the 22nd of Match were the first step towards that with his coffin being moved from Leicester University, which discovered the remains, to his final resting place in Leicester Cathedral.
The funeral cortege made the journey via stopovers at various places of high relevance to the King Richard story, which included a ceremony at the Bosworth Heritage Centre, which is near the site of his final battle.
Another ceremony took place at the historic Bow Bridge, which King Richard crossed on his way to battle and across which his body was brought back into the city. This was followed by short service at St. Nicholas Church, the oldest place of Christian worship in the city. It was after the church service that the coffin was transferred from a hearse, to a horse drawn carriage for the remainder of it's journey.
Approximately thirty five thousand people attended events across the city and county. They came from all over the world, fulfilling Leicester Mayor, Sir Peter Soulsby's hopes, that the reinterment will provide the city with a huge tourism boost, not just now but for years to come.
The day ended with a service of compline at the Catherdral. Over the next couple of days people will have the chance to file past his coffin and pay their respects. Then on Thursday King Richard III will finally by reinterred into a specially built tomb in the Cathedral, ending a dramatic story that started some 500 years ago.
Old John Tower –Leicestershire’s most famous landmark

Old John Tower –Leicestershire’s most famous landmark
This Folly or Prospect Tower was built in 1784 by the 5th Earl of Stamford. The circular stone tower replaced a former wooden windmill (which had been made unsafe in an earlier storm) and stands on Bradgate’s tallest hill and Leicestershire’s second highest point – some 690 feet above sea level.
Constructed in local granite stone with two circular rooms, one above the other, connected by a narrow spiral staircase and complete with timbered floor and three glazed and shuttered windows on first floor, slate fireplaces and castellations around the top of the structure. The windows and castellations may have been incorporated a few years after the Tower was built.
Lord Stamford and his guests would have used the Folly to watch his horses gallop around the racecourse laid out at the base of the Hill, to enjoy the magnificent views over his Estate and as a vantage point to watch fox hunting (another of his favourite sports) across the Park and neighbouring countryside.
By 1792 an archway was attached to the Tower and the legend of Old John Tower’s ‘beer tankard’ outline was born.

The British Rail Class 25 diesel locomotives were also known as Sulzer Type 2. In total, 327 locomotives of this type were built between 1961 and 1967. They were numbered in two series, D5151-D5299 and D7500-D7677
The Class 24 locomotives were the precursor of the Class 25 design but after the delivery of their first few units it became apparent that the speed ceiling of 75 mph (121 km/h) was unduly restrictive and the provision of additional power would be advantageous. In the course of normal development the power output of the Sulzer six-cylinder engine had been increased by 90 hp (67 kW) to give a continuous traction output of 1,250 bhp (930 kW) at 750 rpm by the introduction of charge air cooling and the first locomotives to use this became known as Class 25 locomotives.
The Class 25 locos were primarily designed for freight work, but a significant number were fitted with boilers for heating passenger trains. Throughout the 1970s they could be found at work across the whole of the British Rail network although the Eastern and Southern Regions never had an allocation. Though regular performers into the early 1980s on Crewe–Cardiff passenger trains, they are best known in that respect for their use on the summer Saturday trains to Aberystwyth, a task they relinquished in 1984. The final Class 25 locomotive was withdrawn from service in March 1987.
England's King Richard III found after 500 years
A skeleton with a cleaved skull and a curved spine entombed under a car park is that of Richard III, archaeologists said on Monday, solving a 500-year-old mystery about the final resting place of the last English king to die in battle.
Cast by Shakespeare as a deformed tyrant who murdered two princes in the Tower of London, Richard was slain in a bid to keep his crown at the 1485 Battle of Bosworth Field, immortalized by the words: A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!
In one of the most significant archaeological finds of recent English history, a team from the University of Leicester said evidence showed a skeleton found last year in excavations of a mediaeval friary under a city car park was that of Richard.
It's the academic conclusion ... that beyond reasonable doubt the individual exhumed at Grey Friars in September 2012 is indeed Richard III, the last Plantagenet king of England, lead archaeologist Richard Buckley said.
The skeleton had 10 wounds, eight of which were to the head clearly inflicted on the battlefield. A photograph showed a sword had cleaved away part of the rear of the skull. A metal fragment was found between Richard's vertebrae.
After the battle, the victor, the future King Henry VII, had Richard's naked body exposed to the people of Leicester to show the battle was won, ending the bloody 30-year civil conflict known as The Wars of the Roses between the houses of York and Lancaster.
Other wounds were consistent with being caused after death when his body was taken from the battlefield to the nearby city of Leicester on the back of a horse. All of the wounds were from swords or daggers and it appeared his hands had been bound.
Confirmation the bones were Richard's hinged on DNA taken from the skeleton matching that of Michael Ibsen, a Canadian-born furniture maker in London who genealogists said was the direct descendant of Richard's sister, Anne of York.
Admirers of Richard hope that the discovery will fuel interest in the mediaeval monarch and dispel Shakespeare's physically impaired protagonist who said: And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover ... I am determined to prove a villain.
CROOKED BONES REVEAL KING'S SECRET
The curvature of the spine, so ruthlessly mocked by Shakepeare and famously depicted by Laurence Olivier, was striking.
After a detailed presentation focusing on the life, wounds and physique of Richard, Buckley, announced his conclusion to world media amidst cheers and applause. The project almost ended prematurely, but funds from countries ranging from the United States and Germany to Australiaa nd Belgium kept it afloat.
Richard, who died aged 32 after just two years on the throne, will be interred at Leicester Cathedral, which traces its history to a Saxon bishop in AD 680, in line with guidelines about burying bodies close to where they are exhumed.
The grey, concrete car park with its red-brick walls and a payment hut, under which the bones were found contrasts sharply with the grandeur of traditional sepulchers for English kings and queens at Windsor Castle and Westminster Abbey.
Asked whether the prime minister agrees with some Conservative MPs who said they believe the late king should receive a state burial, a spokesman for David Cameron said: The decision on burial is a matter for Leicester University who hold the license to exhume the remains.
The evidence ends the centuries-old mystery which has fascinated historians in Britain and around the world and which has provided material for a welter of legends, one of which maintained the body was dug up in the reign of Henry VIII, thrown in a river and the stone coffin used as a horse trough.
One of the most famous English kings, Richard's grave, which was lost after Henry VIII ordered the monasteries dissolved, had been as elusive as his reputation. Richard was cast by Shakespeare as a monster but supporters say he was enlightened and unfairly maligned by a victorious House of Tudor.

8. THE JANUS CUP
As a young boy, John Webber of Dorchester, England was given a small cup with two faces on it by his grandfather, who was a scrap metal dealer. He didn’t think to investigate the item’s worth - after all, while scrap metal retains some value, it usually won’t land someone a fortune, and Webber simply assumed the cup was made out of a material his grandfather typically worked with, such as bronze or brass.
7. ROMAN-ERA PIZZERIA DECOR
In 2007, a wooden stand sitting outside the bathrooms of the North Yorkshire, England branch of the ASK pizzeria chain caught the eye of a customer, who decided to photograph and investigate the item. The giltwood carving featured garlands and youths, and while it had gone unnoticed by many, something about it piqued this person’s curiosity.
6. THE DEVON MOONSTONE
In 1950, a family purchased a home in Sussex, England from a Sri Lankan tea farmer. The property contained a semi-circular, four-by-eight foot (1.2 x 1.5 meters) granite stone weighing nearly a ton. On its surface, the stone depicted animals such as cows, horses, lions, elephants, and birds, along with flowers and foliage. From thereon out, whenever the family moved, they brought the stone with them.
5. THE SLEEPING LADY
One day in 2009, Hungarian art historian Gergely Barki put the children’s movie Stuart Little on for his bored daughter, Lola. In the background of the movie set, he noticed a painting that he recognized as a Hungarian avant-garde masterpiece that had been missing since 1928.
4. THE PETRIE POT
Sometime during the 1950’s, a man who owed fare money to English taxi driver Charles Funnell, paid him instead with a strange little pot. Attached to the pot was a card identifying the red and black artifact as “Libyan Pottery” dating back to 3,000 BC that had been discovered sometime between 1894 and 1895 by Professor WM Flinders Petrie.
3. Roman Moratorium Turned Birdbath
In 2006, a resident of Alcester, England named Ray Taylor found a flat, clay bowl in his garden while digging for rhubarb and decided to use it as a bird bath. For the next decade or so, that’s where it remained. When Taylor’s daughter, Rebecca, visited the Roman Alcester Heritage Museum, she noticed several similar items on display, and suggested for her dad to take his makeshift bird bath there to learn more.
2. THE LEICESTER STONE
When archaeologist and television host James Balme noticed a dirty, old garden ornament for sale in Leicester, England, he had an unexplainable-yet-sneaking suspicion that the item was not just a worthless lawn trinket. He purchased the heavy sandstone block and noticed, after cleaning it, that it contained complex engravings that may represent a form of writing.
1. BLENHEIM SARCOPHAGUS
In 2016, an antiques expert noticed a unique flower pot as he strolled through the gardens of Blenheim Palace, the Oxfordshire, England birthplace and ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill.

Gruesome Tales, Spirits and Poltergeists in Leicester, Summer Daze | Ep 43 Life in a Nutshell
E43 Summer Daze Vlog of Life in a Nutshell narrowboat travels.
A day spent checking out the historic sights and buildings of the old Roman city of Leicester. We took a look at the Guildhall with its macabre history, cells and civic rooms. An ale at the oldest pub in Leicester, the Globe, where we found out that it was haunted and that laughter is often heard in the cellar.
A gentle jaunt through the town to discover the large covered market place which was slightly eerie on a quiet Sunday.
Then back to our lovely gated mooring at Castle Gardens.
Thanks for watching and see you all tomorrow for more Summer Daze.
