AHRC Announces Emergency 'Car Park Excavation' Scheme

AHRC: 'Plenty more where he came from'

The excitement surrounding the discovery of the remains of the last Plantagenet king, Richard III, under a car park in Leicester in August 2012, was reignited by his reburial at the weekend.

The AHRC has responded to the public excitement by issuing a NERC-style 'urgency' grant for anyone interested in digging up a local car park in the hope of finding a king.

After my last post on the new Director of Research for the AHRC, someone has pointed out that he has something of the young Donny Osmond about him, rather than Peter Kay's younger brother. I, of course, couldn't possibly comment.
