In 2012, archaeologists from the University of Leicester discovered the lost grave of King Richard III under a car park in Leicester in the English East Midlands.

Richard was the King of England more than 500 years ago and for centuries was portrayed as one of the great villains of English history.

He was killed in 1485 leading his army in battle against a rival claimant to the throne, Henry Tudor.

After the battle, King Richard III's corpse was stripped naked and paraded around before being hastily buried in a church within a friary in Leicester.

In 2020, Alex Last spoke to Dr Richard Buckley who led the archaeological team that dug up the remains.
