Plans have been launched to build a Richard III museum following last week's confirmation that human remains found in a car park (on the site of the medieval Greyfriars church beneath Leicester city centre) are those of the former 15th-century king of England.

Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 and buried in the church, which was later demolished. Go to visitleicester.info/richardIII/ for information on the current Leicester exhibit detailing the archeological find.
