What a crying shame

[tynesideirish]

I agree it is a sorry state of affairs, Thankfully the People of England cared enough to come and pay their respects to a King of England.

As has been said Richard III has no connection to the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. I think finding him is an embarrassment to them. That Royal family Represented at the ceromony not by the Queen or a high ranking blood Prince but only by the wife of the youngest prince. Maybe she had a racehorse to look at...

He was a defeated Monarch originally hastily buried in a Greyfriars Monastry without even a coffin, never mind pomp and ceremony. I think he was harshly treated then and now. If it wasn't for the Richard the III Society he would have been quickly and quietly reburied in a corner of some church to be forgotten again.
