Being that I am British and a total History Buff ...I just wanted to mark an incredible day in the History of  the English Monarchy

King Richard III's coffin is carried into Leicester Cathedral in Leicester, central England, March 22, 2015. Richard III's remains were carried in procession through Leicestershire today on its way to the cathedral where they will be reburied. The body of Richard III, who died at the battle of Bosworth in 1485, was found under a car park in 2012.

Richard, the last Plantagenet king, was killed in battle against Henry Tudor in 1485 and buried hastily without a coffin in a long-demolished monastery. The coffin, containing the remains of the medieval king whose bones were found in 2012 under a parking lot, will lie inside the cathedral for public viewing for three days until March 26 when he will be re-interred during a service

I thought it was pretty neat that they even had a Knight on a Horse at attention outside the church

 A maligned monarch found under a parking lot was buried in pomp Thursday, as Britain embraced comeback King Richard III, a long-reviled ruler who is experiencing a remarkable posthumous renaissance.

Here is a Likeness of Richard III

I just thought I would mark this day 

And hopefully inform you of a little 

Of the History of our Monarchy 

Be it good or bad 

I LOVE the Royals and am very proud 

To be British

All of these photos and most of the text that I have included in this post are from a write up by

Long Live the Queen ...what else can I say
