Bring Richard III home!

Yesterday it was confirmed that a skeleton found under a car park in Leicester was that of the English king Richard III.

Richard III had lived in North Yorkshire, at Middleham Castle, and was said to have wanted to be buried at York Minster.

However, it is likely that he will be buried in Leicester Cathedral, much to the disappointment of those who wanted him buried in Yorkshire.

A petition has been set up on the government website calling for him to be buried in York Minster.

I believe that Richard III should be buried in the county he was said to have loved, in the church he was said to want to be buried in.

For those interested in Richard III, there is a Richard III Society.
