As Richard III is laid to rest ...

The body which is believed to be that of Richard III is finally to be reburied today after a remarkable degree of pomp and ceremony.

I am definitely not a "Ricardian" but equally he was a human being and it is right that his remains should be treated with respect.

Here is the march which Thomas Purcell wrote two centuries after Richard's time for the funeral of Queen Mary, and which seems appropriate to mark his re-interment.
