Leicester Update 12.9.12
Breaking News:
The University of Leicester has just a few minutes ago announced that human remains have been found at the archaeological dig in Leicester and they are talking about other “stunning discoveries”.
More details will be revealed at a press conference at 11 am (British time – that’s 20.00 EST) in Leicester. Live coverage of whatever is announced will be available on Twitter @uniofleicester. (Yes, I have just signed up to Twitter, something I never wanted to do, but for news like this it seems to be worth it.)
This find is truly “a dramatic new turn”, as Richard Taylor, Director of Corporate Affairs at the University of Leicester and one of the prime movers behind the project, said.
Philippa Langley from the Richard III Society said: “We came with a dream and if the dream becomes reality it will be nothing short of miraculous.” How true!
