The British have been waiting so long to attend a royal funeral that they dug one up from 500 years ago.

And here I am. A German watching an 500-year-old English king being reburied at 4:55 AM. What Youtube makes with us is incredible.

Whatever the burial was, it had to be better than laying under a Leicester carpark. He owes 500 years worth of parking fees.

The fact that Michael Ibsen, the descendant who allowed the remains to be identified, built the coffin himself is very moving.

Today's leaders do not die in battle, they sit 1000 miles away and send other people's son's to die. For that alone, King Richard III deserves our respect

i love the fact that one of his only living descendant hand crafted the casket laid to rest with him, it must have been a real honor to have been able to do that for your ancestor let alone for such a famous historical figure

A king, with severe scoliosis, lead a cavalry charge and died fighting. No matter what Shakespeare wrote about him, he earns every honor to be buried as king.

He died bravely. He did not shy away from his enemies. He stood on his ground until the last drop of his blood

The one person I did not expect to see at a funeral for a long-dead Monarch is Benedict Cumberbatch.

Weird to think that those who attended Richard III’s funeral might themselves be the descendants of the soldiers under his command

King Richard III must have felt the overwhelming respect and dedication he received half a millenium later. May he RIP.
