Who was King Richard III?

On Sunday 22 March services begin ahead of the reburial of King Richard III four days later.

In the summer of 2012 the remains of the last English King to die in battle were found under a car park in Leicester.

The discovery of King Richard III's remains was a collaboration with the University of Leicester, the Richard III Society and Leicester City Council.
