I feel an article about King Richard III coming on. It was confirmed today (Feb 5th) that the remains found under a car park in the city of Leicester are those of Richard III who was killed at the Battle of Bosworth. Leicester is 12 miles away from my home town of Lutterworth, so it's a must.

The discovery of the long lost British monarch found under a parking lot in Leicester, U.K. has stimulated the imaginations of CBCNews.ca readers.
King Richard III was identified yesterday through modern DNA testing with the help of a Canadian carpenter - a 17th great-grand-nephew of the king's older sister.
Not only have scientists excavated and identified his bones, but they have also given the modern world a first glimpse of his face in a life-sized plastic model.
Good luck honey, look forward to reading it :)
