On Twitter
Everyone is preparing for the reinterment, at least that's how it looks on Twitter! This afternoon I glanced at my Twitter timeline and saw the following tweets scroll down one after the other:
Everyone is preparing for the reinterment, at least that's how it looks on Twitter! This afternoon I glanced at my Twitter timeline and saw the following tweets scroll down one after the other:
@+++++ Leicester Cathedral Square and Pop Up TV studio. It seems the whole city is being cleaned for #richardreburied
@+++++ Live coverage of #RichardReburied #RichardIII as it happens @BBCLeicester from 22/03/15 onwards. Be part of it.
@+++++ Our #horses are used at ceremonial events but this is the 1st time they will be escorting a King to his final resting place #richardreburied
@+++++ Quite a buzz @LeicsCathedral as crews set up for @Channel4 coverage next week
I could go on but you get the idea. What on
earth are we all going to tweet about when this is over?
Market Stall:
Advanced notice that I will be in front of the Corn Exchange in Leicester Market every day next week. We have a stall selling my book, the Children's Book of Richard III, and I will be book signing every lunchtime. I will, of course, blog about it and there may even be photos.
Dates:
Yesterday’s blog post was a gallop through
the events that led to a King being found under a car park. I wouldn’t usually
give out dates to an assembly of children but here they are for any interested
blog readers:
Battle of Bosworth 1485
Henry VIII dissolved Leicester's Grey Friars 1538
Alderman Herrick had a garden on the
site 1580s
