PHILIPPA LANGLEY AND JOHN ASHDOWN-HILL RECOGNISED IN THE QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY HONOURS LIST
• Richard III Society acknowledges MBE awards to Philippa Langley and John Ashdown-Hill
• Philippa and John’s key role in the Looking for Richard project saluted
• Quotes from Philippa Langley, Dr John Ashdown-Hill and Society chairman Dr Phil Stone.
The Richard III Society congratulates Philippa Langley and Dr John Ashdown-Hill on being awarded the MBE in the 2015 Queen's Birthday Honours. These awards are a recognition of their key roles in the Looking for Richard project and recognition also for all Ricardians who helped make its success possible.
Philippa and John have been awarded the MBE in recognition of their services to ‘the Exhumation and Identification of Richard III’ (London Gazette). The MBE is given in recognition of a significant achievement or outstanding service to the community, and for local ‘hands-on’ service which stands out as an example to other people.
• Philippa Langley’s successful Looking For Richard project marked the first-ever search for the lost grave of an anointed King of England.
• The project took seven and a half years, including four years of research and remarkably on the first day of the dig, King Richard’s remains were discovered in the place Philippa Langley had indicated.
• Vital to Ms Langley’s search getting underway and its successful conclusion was the identification by Dr John Ashdown-Hill of the mtDNA sequence of Richard III in 2004/5.
Philippa Langley stated: ‘I’m very honoured to receive this award which is totally unexpected. I’m delighted the discovery of the King’s grave has increased employment and boosted the local economy in Leicester but what has really excited me is the impact it’s had on young people; their knowledge and education. For the first time, King Richard III is being read with the true facts surrounding his life and times. In my talks to schools and colleges I am meeting the next generation of historians who are eager to question and make their own discoveries. My prediction is the study of late medieval England will never be the same again.’
