Final Resting Place

Today we took our visitors to the final resting place of Richard III in Leicester Cathedral.

The tomb sits within a walking space between the newly created Chapel of Christ the King at the east end of the Cathedral and the sanctuary (the most holy place, signified by the main altar) under the tower.  This place is of similar significance to the chancel where the Grey Friars buried King Richard in their church, and where he was finally found.
 Richard's motto  "Loyaulte me Lie" is old french and means ` Loyalty binds me `
King Richard III’s tomb was designed by the architects van Heningen and Haward and I think it has been very simply but tastefully incorporated into the cathedral.
