Richard’s remains were interred at Leicester Cathedral in 2015. The ceremony was deliberately designed to honour the reburial of a medieval monarch. The funeral cortège first took Richard’s coffin to Bosworth before making its way to the consecrated ground of the cathedral. Thousands came to pay their respects before he was interred in a coffin made by his living relative, cabinetmaker Michael Ibsen.
