For Sale: Car park where Richard III’s grave was found is being auctioned

The car park where Richard III’s grave was discovered a decade ago, and buildings next to it, are up for auction this month, for an estimated £4 million.

Leicester City Council is selling off part of the car park on the site of the Grey Friars Church where the last Plantagenet's body was laid to rest following the 1485 Battle of Bosworth.

The king's remains were famously discovered under a parking space marked R, at the very start of an archaeological dig back in August 2012 which many thought had little prospect of finding anything of significance.
