Who are we to try to change history?

Just to clarify, he wasn't a King of Britain, He was a King of England, his people were the English.
The Tudor House of Lancaster was the New Monarchy, they certainly wouldn't have let him have a state funeral. True, we cannot change that history but since he has been found and exhumed he should have been given some sort of proper state funeral befitting a king, not a shuffle to the place he was hacked to death then escorted by a bunch of cadets and re-enactors. We where still bankrupt when that cow Maggie died,who all of Scotland, most of the North of England and Wales hated with a passion but the country managed a send off...
