It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

But has she researched appropriate music? That's what we all want to know!

The reburial of Richard's father was accompanied by three sung masses and a banquet where guests dined on capons, cygnets, herons and rabbits.
Better than your average jubilee street party!

Surely it has been decided - Leicester Cathedral, close to where he was originally buried. A few fantasists claiming to be his descendants, or related to him, (they're not fantasists because of that - I'm sure they are related, but then so are probably a great many other people) want to challenge it in court, but I doubt if that will come to anything.

"We know Richard III had a very meagre night-time burial, probably just a basic requiem. He was covered in wounds, probably not embalmed."
