IF the princes in the tower were murdered and not smuggled away into hiding, then look to the House of Lancaster and Margaret in particular, whose ambition for her Lancastrian son was obsessive.
King Richard 111 deserves to be buried at York where he was loved or in Westminster.

I went down to Leicester Monday and Tuesday, got to file past the coffin, what a fantastic feeling it was.
Talking to so many people and the atmosphere despite long delays in getting through the Cathedral was just amazing.

I agree York would have been a more fitting permanent place for the King to be buried in,I feel sure it is where he would have chosen too.

Really fantastic event this is this week.
Much more of what he should have been given and a fitting tribute to him too at last.
One in the eye for the Tudors too, for Richard 111 to now be commemorated and have this respect and passion from so many citizens today, oozing for him all these centuries later.
