State burial, woodland burial or Co-op burial, it has has to be better than car park burial. Love the idea of RIII returning to rest to the strains of My Way (Regrets, I’ve had a few but then again to few to mention)! Or how about Lil Wayne’s Misunderstood:

Explanation owed to baffled readers. I added a coda claiming that we had encountered a rumour, here at the GFG-Batesville Shard, that Co-operative Funeralcare was considering lodging a bid to undertake one of their package ‘celebration of life’ funerals replete with newest-model vehicles designed to expedite the grief journeys of their passengers. I speculated that proceedings would conclude with My Way as the curtains jiggered shut at the end of a 20-min ceremony, and that the assembled grievers would be greeted with a balloon release as they shouldered their way through the concourse of grievers assembling for the next funeral. I went shopping, thought better of it and deleted it.
Richard, your suggestion of Lil Wayne is perfect for our malformed monarch:
But I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
Car Park Boy is pretty darn good, too.
Any other music suggestions for Richard III’s funeral, anyone? Readings? Poems?
No doubt Mr Skidmore is ready to fund a full state funeral from his own pocket – should be a little less costly than the alternative you claim to have heard about Charles…
But it’s good to see the archaeologists being offered fully-armed state protection from a possible bone-snatching raid by those damned Tudors. Or the Lancastrians. Or Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
