Lens of the Day: King Richard III – The Carpark King

kingrichardIIII have to admit that I was fascinated to hear the news that the body of a 15th century King was found in a parking lot.  I mean, really, what are the chances?

If you find this story fascinating too, you’re going to love today’s Lens of the Day.

Stop by King Richard III – The Carpark King where lensmaster holly2 delves into the history of the King who ultimately landed at the bottom of a carpark in Leicester England.

In addition to the history lesson, at the lens you can also join the discussion, share your views in a poll and keep up with the latest news about this amazing story.

This one is not to be missed.

    Thanks Robin. Living fairly near Leicester, I find the whole thing fascinating! :)

    No, he isn’t “the carpark king.” No, he didn’t land at the bottom of a carpark. It was built over his gravesite. You don’t have to be British to despise this kind of sloppy soundbites

      No offense was intended.

    King Richard’s bones tell the whole story. He was a hated and despised man. They pierced Caesar through many times. But they still, buried him with honor. They threw away the remains of this man’s body like trash! I’m surprised they didn’t burn it!

    You might enjoy the book about Richard 111 by Sharon Penman. It beongs history to life, but not in a Hollywood way.

    Have the guidelines been changed for Lens of the Day? The Intro picture on the lens is not square and is not 250 X 250. Could you please post the rules for the new image size?

      Rules haven’t changed. Just an oversight that I have fixed. Thanks for spotting.

      The rules have not changed. We do prefer all lenses to have Intro photos sized 250 x 250 but that has never been a required guideline for LotD.
