Tens of thousands turning out, people throwing flowers in front of the hearse for FFS...really?! Meanwhile there are real events of consequence happening...just me? That's exactly what I said when I saw the news. Some people are bizarre. I didn't get the Diana hysteria but at least people sort of knew her through the media. Richard Turd died 530 years ago.

Quote PeatlingPalace at 22 Mar 2015 9.34pm Quote Lakeview at 22 Mar 2015 8.42pm What struck me as weird was the involvement of a Sikh & Muslim section to the ceremonies and a woman priest at one point- all very modern England, but, if the ceremony was meant to be for Richard in some way, he would have found it completely alien to his own ideas and beliefs-something to be avoided in funerals/commemorations don't you think? It is indeed all very modern England. But the ceremony was also very much we are Leicester. There has been huge pressure for them to give him up to York or Westminster. So this is Leicester making their mark and rightly so. As an SE19 boy who has now lived in Leicester for 25 years I hope I carry some balance of bias. And well happy that Leicester are going down even if they have king... And that's the point that everyone here seems to have missed. Lose one attraction so replace it with another. Clever people those mid-landers
