King Richard III

Anonymous
Not applicable

he did not have a 'hunched back' = he had what the fast runner Eusain Bolt has ie unequal (not horizontally in line) shoulders

his body was found 'scrunched up' because the hole dug for him was too small for his body

no-one will ever know what happend to 'the 2 princes in the tower' but it is likely a powerful 'baron' or family had 'dirty hands'

Westminster Abbey said there is no room for the remains of King Richard III ..... York Minster wanted his remains as he was something big to do with York (sorry but it just escapes me atm) ..... Leicester Cathedral wanted him as his remains were found under one of the 'R's' in the Car Park of local administration offices, he fell fighting at the battle of Bosworth = the last Plantaganet King of England

imho Kings & Queens of England are laid to rest in our capital city of London at Westminster Abbey & that's where he should have been laid to rest ..... shame on you the 'powers-that-be' = you just didn't want him

& of course as my astute mum says they (York & Leicester) want him for the tourists' cash - my mum who left school at 14 to be a live-in scullery maid & educated herself after me & my sister left home ..... my mum & dad have always been big fans of King Richard III ..... me & my mum went to see the Shakespeare play at Bradford Alhambra Theatre starring Robert Lindsay ..... my mum & dad saw Sir Ian Mcellern in the starring role at Leeds Grand Theatre

all from my memory ..... obviously, you tech people can look it all up on the web slight_smile

what do you think?

He's on Radio 4 Extra most days in The Navy Lark where he never got a mention until the end of the show.

He wrote many of the Two Ronnies sketches in the later years as Gerald Wiley, not many people know that...........

 

I knew Ronnie Corbett from the Danny La Rue Club in London where he did his own material and was very good, long before The Two Ronnies started.

Do you see any theatre by the way? My last one was the panto lol

I'd love to go to the theatre much more - there is a Little Theatre in Skipton, I've been & seen some good productions, but it's a bit too claustrophobic for me now

Bradford Alhambra with Les Mis was just fantastic = went with my mum & a mutual friend for the Saturday matinee - it was the London Touring Company which did it

to me going to the theatre is the epitome of a great night out, with dinner of course, it's a sharing experience & not cheap - I would like to go to such as An Evening with Brendon Cole, one of the original professional dancers off BBC Strictly Come Dancing = he was on at Leeds Grand theatre recently slight_smile

the King Richard III production I saw at the Bradford Alhambra had no scenery, a great pointed out front flat stage with large chains at the 2 sides & back of the stage, these vertical, heavy chains came crashing down with a great noise right at the end of the play Astounded
