However, it is expected to take place next spring.
Philippa Langley, from the Richard III Society, said she had commissioned the building of the proposed tomb in September 2010, at the beginning of her search for Richard III.
She worked with academic from the University of Leicester, who uncovered his remains at a city council car park and used DNA evidence to confirm his identity at a press conference on February 4.

“I feel I speak for most people that the finding of King Richard (III) was historical and impressive. However, I feel the LM is milking the story now, we know that there will be a centre set-up for him (which is great), and we do not need a 24/7 update of it, as it is not new news…”
