A 36ft (approx. 11 m) long sign has been erected at Bosworth Battlefield saying “Bosworth 525”. It is supposed to draw attention to the Anniversary Re-enactment of the Battle. The sign is so large that it can be seen from a mile away.
This year marks the 525th anniversary of the Battle of Bosworth in which King Richard III was killed on 22 August 1485.
It is questionable whether such a Hollywood style sign is appropriate to mark the death of a person, whatever your personal view of him. It creates the image of a Disney World extravaganza rather than an interpretation of an actual battle based on factual evidence.
