Richard III: The Burial of the King

Richard III - the king found under a council car park in Leicester 　　in 2012 - will be buried in the city's cathedral. Channel 4 is broadcasting 　　live and exclusively from Leicester in a special programme presented by 　　Jon Snow with Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Arthur Williams and Sonali Shah. This first 　　part captures the climax of the procession of the king's mortal remains to 　　the site of his death at Bosworth Battlefield, through the streets of Leicester 　　and to the service that marks his reception into Leicester Cathedral, with a 　　sermon given by the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Vincent 　　Nichols. Channel 4 assembles leading historians, actors and politicians 　　descendants of the king and key participants in his rediscovery, to ask who 　　Richard really was and what his place in British history should now be. Then 　　Channel 4 returns to Leicester Cathedral for exclusive live coverage of the reburial.
