Beside the coffin of King Richard III

Thousands of people are expected to view the coffin of King Richard III over the next three days while it is on public view at Leicester Cathedral.

The remains of the last Plantagenet king arrived at the cathedral on Sunday after a cortege carried his coffin through Leicestershire.

His skeleton was found under a car park in 2012.

The reburial ceremony, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, will be held on Thursday.

Justin Webb describes the scene.
