Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are talking about History. I like learning about history because to me, it is very interesting because you get to learn about what happened a long, long time ago. Richard III, an English king, was found buried under a car park and then was reburied in Leicester Cathedral. Richard III had a very nice burial and I saw it all on television. Well, to me it's a bit weird being buried in a church. I thought he would have a special place in a graveyard with a big statue and a plaque saying Richard III. He died not of old age, and not in war - well it was tied to war because he was in a different part of the battle and he got murdered in secret. Some monks found him and buried him the ground near their church. The car park was built on top of the monks church. No one ever knew he was buried under a car park and now they do, so that car park is famous now!

Until next time
