That was interesting, how she went about locating his grave. I don't much like to think about his skeleton and "flesh" being separated and taken to separate places 😳

He requested that they keep his skeleton so they could learn from it and help others in the future.

FYI: The link is now dead

The link still works for me.

But here's a more reputable source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-48149855

A reputable source, with a lot less annoying advertising plastered all over it.

BBC? REPUTABLE? Don't make me laugh.

I said "more reputable". Are you saying the BBC is as bad as the Daily Mail? I'm not British, but that wouldn't be my impression.
