Richard III: The Burial of the King(2015)

Richard III: The Burial of the King is a documentary event capturing the reinterment of England's most controversial monarch. In 2012, Richard III's skeleton was discovered beneath a Leicester car park, ending centuries of mystery about the king's final resting place. This Channel 4 special follows his remains through a solemn procession to Leicester Cathedral, retracing the route from Bosworth Battlefield where he fell in 1485. Presented by Jon Snow and featuring historians, actors, and royal descendants, the programme examines who Richard truly was and reassesses his legacy in British history. Cardinal Vincent Nichols conducts the burial service as Richard III is finally laid to rest, concluding one of archaeology's most remarkable discoveries with live, exclusive coverage of the cathedral ceremony.
