I'm sure all this will be on youtube later. Looking forward to it.

How are you all feeling?

It was very, very moving, Lily, which I didn't expect. It tapped into something, I can't really explain it.

The service is over now, and the interviewer is talking to the crowds. People have come from all over the world - a couple of guys from Brazil felt they just had to be there.

She talked to a couple of local Sikhs earlier, who identified with Richard's courage in battle, and his legal reforms, efforts to help the poor, etc. I can't explain it, there's just something about him that seems to touch people.

I felt it too all the way from here, Bonny. He's everywhere.........Bless him.

**Lamplighter** Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:07 pm

Tin hat and flak jacket, bonny, I have a nasty suspicion we are about to get Stuffy Starkey!!

Come over here. This is one of those Starkey free zones. rofl

I've just muted Starkey, he's doing his usual spiel. His nose is well out of joint, which is always good.

Some good pics here:

Just ignore the whines from the Yorkie trolls, they're as bad as the Gonzo fan club.

I was right, he's mouthing off again - in York. LL

**bb1** Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:16 pm

Him and the Yorkie trolls are a match made in Hell.

I keep having to mute the TV when he's blathering on. rofl

**lily** Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:19 pm

I feel for you both. Reading some of those comments says it all. They may well be forkers...... rofl

**bb1** Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:22 pm

I know, Lily, after a while, you get to recognise the type....phrases like 'obsessive nutjobs' spring to mind.

He shows up exactly what he is - limp wristed, oooh ducky!! LL rofl

**Sabot** Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:24 pm

I've got two comments on The Mail article. Mind you, it is unmoderated.

**bb1** Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:37 pm

Well done, Sabot. I've come to the conclusion that the Yorkies didn't actually give a flying one about Richard, they're just a bunch of rather nasty snobs.

I feel really sad, like it just happened.

**Lamplighter** Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:58 pm

Over now to MORE4 - Richard III: The Unseen Story. LL

**bb1** Sun Mar 22, 2015 7:59 pm

I think I've seen that one, LL. I am glad to see Starkey's being insulted on Injustice, excellent!

**Sabot** Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:03 pm

Tee Hee. Whose a Troll then.

That gives a fair idea of the crowds. Sources say ghostly shrieks of rage are coming from somewhere in Westminster Abbey....

That's a stunning photo from the Mail. The thought of Starkey having to sit and watch all this fills me with delight.

Re-interment of King Richard III - Page 5 Horse10

Another wonderful image.

I was just trying to remember how the populace reacted to dead Tudors....

H7 - Praise the Lord! The horrible old miser's dead!

H8 - Praise the Lord! The bloodthirsty tyrant's dead! Oh look, his coffin's burst, and a mangy cur is licking his blood, just like that prophecy....

E6 - That one didn't last long, can we stop praying now?

Bloody Mary: Praise the Lord, the mad Papist's dead, before she incinerated everyone.

Gloriana: She finally gone, has she? Did alright against them Spanish, though.

**Sabot** Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:45 pm

And that was the end of that lot.

**lily** Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:48 pm

Then...drumroll......Stuarts. rofl

**bb1** Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:50 pm

Yes, it was, Sabot. Try someone who isn't much into history about the Tudors, and you get, H8 and the wives and the headchopping, Bloody Mary and the heretic incineration, and Gloriana and the Armada.

Oh, and the odd one remembers that H8 wrecked the-then church in a manner worthy of ISIS so he could legally get his leg over with Anne Boleyn. Most people don't remember H7 or E6.

It makes great soap opera TV, but it must have been Hell to live under.
