Thanks for the update, good news, I was worried it would be all a massive anti-climax.

Del, True enough!...... Money! has always been, and will always be, the key to winning or losing any conflict. ... but at what price?.. there is always a price to pay.
Reminds me of the, Order of the Knights Templar!.. and Phillip 1st of France!

I've been following with interest as Richard spent his early days near here at Middleham Castle. I seem to remember there was a discussion whether he would be reburied in either Leicestershire or Yorkshire.

Roger!.. I know Middleham Castle very well!.. not much in the way of Acre's,... but, What a powerful looking structure!.. the Outer-walls, and the, inner-keep! with not a lot of ground btween the two!.. (From N/Yorks). Then whipped off to the Black-Sheep, at Masham!.. Happy days. are the Auctions still going on at Bedale?

If my memory serves me well didn't you do a very nice wee conversion of a Pegaso figure to Richard?

Auctions still active but they've stopped putting 'oss in the Dalesteaks at Leeming Bar.

I tell you what though!.... it would be a fitting place to be buried!.. better than a Leicester car-park!... Although King John is interred at Worcester Cathedral, so where???

Very interesting. I got into reading about Richard III after being having to read Josephine Tey's _The Daughter of Time._ back when I was an undergrad. I have since of course re-read Shakespeares play. Interesting stuff.

Where did you see that? I went to the Beeb and they say DNA is to be released tomorrow? Got insider info?My wife is a big Tey fan and now has me scouring the net.
