Epetition - Richard III

[lexin]

I draw to your hopeful attention an epetition asking the government to lay Richard III (newly discovered under a car park etc, etc) to rest in York Minster, rather than in Leicester.

I view York as a far more fitting place for him than Leicester, with which place he had little to do in life.

I see what you mean, and I like Leicester (it's a place I know well) but Richard had no connection to the town in life.

There's already a statue of him there, being as it's the largest close-ish town to Bosworth Field (assuming that's still the place most people assume it to be!). I agree, York has a better claim.
