King Richard lll will get a raised tomb!



The remains of Richard III will be buried with honour beneath a raised tomb within a specially created area in the Cathedral, it has been announced.

Leicester Cathedral is planning to spend around £1 million on the reinterment, which includes alterations to the building, preparations for the event and the ceremony itself.

Plans for King Richard's final resting place will see a series of changes to the inside of the Cathedral to create a significant space for the raised tomb, with a new floor, special lighting and new stained glass windows.

There are several possible designs for the tomb, which are being developed by van Heyningen and Haward architects, on behalf of the Cathedral, and a working party that includes representatives from the Richard III Society, the University of Leicester and the City Council.

Final details are still to be decided, but the reinterment will be the climax to a week of events celebrating the city’s history, the discovery of the King’s remains and the fact that Leicester is to be his final resting place.

А ведь в документе по нижней ссылке на стр.15 значительно более красивый вариант предложен надгробия... И почему они его отвергли?!

Olyanka, понятия не имею, эскизов было несколько.
