Remains found beneath a council car
park in Leicester have solved the 500-year-old mystery about the final resting
place of King Richard III, archaeologists say.
Researchers said they had concluded "beyond reasonable
doubt" that the skeleton, which showed evidence of an abnormal lateral
curvature of the spine, was the monarch.
There were cheers at the University of Leicester
as the announcement was made.
Bone specialist Jo Appleby said a study of the remains provided
"a highly convincing case for identification of Richard III".
