Richard III Reburial: Thousands Visit King's Final Resting Place In Leicester Cathedral

Sunday marked the start of a week of events leading to the reinterment of King Richard III's body. His remains are being taken on a tour around Leicestershire, including a visit to Bosworth Battlefield, where he was killed, before moving on to Leicester Cathedral, where he will lie in state until later this week.

Tens of thousands lined the streets on Sunday to see the coffin of England's Richard III taken in procession to his final burial, five centuries after his battlefield death in 1485.
