BBC News: Reports " People wanting to view Richard III's coffin have been urged not to join the queue after the wait passed four hours. "
Lets Get Real:
It is not ever day that you pass a coffin of a Monarch, the last Monarch to die was the Queen's father, George VI in the early 1950s. It is historic, and lets be honest, off all our Kings and Queens, the most infamous is Richard 111. Of course the Tudor's made sure that his record was seen bad, but his reforms on the legal front have stood the test of time. So can one dare say, good old King Richard would have loved the fact that thousands have come to see his coffin, of course you would have to exclude the fact that he took his nephew's throne and is the main suspect in the murder of his nephews in the Tower of London. That debate will go on, one does wonder what Richard 111 would have made of the UK now, of course Scotland only become part of Great Britain with the succession of James VI of Scotland and James the 1 of England. Thus UK with the Act of Union in 18th Century.
