Bring Richard back (From York Press)

Bring Richard back

9:37am Thursday 7th February 2013 in Letters By Reader's letter

NOW that the skeleton discovered beneath a Leicester car park has been identified as that of Richard III, I earnestly hope he will he formally reburied in York Minster.

I wrote to the Dean and Chapter about this when the bones were uncovered and I will be writing again pressing for his interment in York, which is where I believe he should be buried.

He was the last Yorkist king and I think it is only right that he should be interred in the city.

As a keen member of the Richard III Society, I have a particular interest in this subject. His memory has been maligned for far too long and he should be laid to rest in peace in York.
