It's a bit so what? isn't it. Archaeologists have identified a heap of bones as belonging to a dead king and… No doubt they'll be interred in due course with due dignity. Perhaps York Minster would be an appropriate place. He's still dead. You can bet nothing will change the minds of those who believe that he murdered the Princes in the Tower, in spite of strong evidence otherwise, and that he was a Thoroughly Bad Man and King.

As I think JessM commented on a previous thread about RichardIII - at least he found a space smile

Finding it difficult to get my head round the fact that it is really him.
I hope his remains are treated with the respect they deserve and it does not turn into a circus.

Well dont think they will be able to put him in the garden, I would imagine there will be something fitting.

Will there be a state funeral?

It has been confirmed that the remains found are beyond reasonable doubt Richard.
