King Richard III – Reinterring a King with Dignity and Honour.

Once King Richard had been identified, it was paramount that he be given a new resting place that offered him the dignity and honour he deserved.

This talk will take the audience through the process of reinterment, including the many items connected with the event. 

Telling this key part of Richard’s story, it will offer newcomers to the tale a chance to understand what took place as well as giving others a few snippets of previously untold stories.
