Yep as well as a bucktooth and a growth on her neck apparently lol, that account came from a Catholic priest I think which explains the fabrication

Yes that's true. With Anne Boleyn and her sixth finger, her enemies accused her of witchcraft, mainly based on that fact alone.

Stupid pile of bones should be thrown in a skip

What York?... You do know York is in the north?
Wonder why they lined his coffin with lead, that was pretty odd. I wonder how much this charade cost?

[Kizzy]

Is anyone watching the charade?

its amazing that anyone would want to see this shambles

Are peoples lives so bereft that they want to look at a coffin?

If they could go and and touch the bones then i guess that would be cool, to get a pic with the scull?

I find it a little pathetic, i mean look at this

It's historic. You don't have to watch it, it's not compulsory. Some people though are interested and not quite so cynical. When you look at the billions this country wastes, I'm surprised anyone would have a downer on this. But I guess you can't please all the people all the time.

I was in Leicester on Monday and Tuesday as I said earlier to file past the coffin.
For me a historic and great moment, I really wish I had been there today but I will be going back again to visit the tomb site in the Cathedral.

How I wish he had reigned longer really,I find the whole thing inspiring and I am over the moon that he has had a dignified and fitting service and burial at long last.

Your view, and very thankfully not everyones.

I am glad that I in my lifetime got to witness a dignified burial for the remains of a much maligned, and unjustifiably so in my view, King.

Along with the thousands that were on the streets for the procession of the coffin and the thousands who then wanted to file past the coffin,coming from around the World too,I, and I am sure they, would call that 'respect'.
A wrong in history, righted as best it could be at last.

Historic my ar*e.... Waste of money, pathetic load of old cadswallop!
No money for public services but they can always find money to give murderous warmongers state funerals, it would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

They should dig up some more old bones and have this annually in different cities. Look we have found Shakespeare or King Alfred. Hartlepool could find Nogbad the Bad and bury him in a fiery Longboat.

I am pretty sure that a bone i found the other day was Pontius Pilot so i will be quids in
