DNA test results were today due to reveal whether remains found under a car park in Leicester are those of Richard III.

The University of Leicester excavated the site of a city church where it was thought the king was buried.

They found a skeleton with a badly curved spine and head injuries consistent with descriptions of the king's death in 1485.

Richard III was a former Duke of Gloucester and some people have argued that his remains should be interred at Gloucester Cathedral, where Edward II is also buried.

    “Someone that is to do with Gloucester and it ends up in a cathedral in Leicester.”
