The parking lot is down a narrow alley from Leicester Cathedral

(Usually surrounded by people -- luckily I was travelling alone, because I had to wait so long to get a shot clear of any people that any travelling companion of mine would have ground their teeth to fine powder waiting until I was done)



The gold-decorated chancel of Leicester Cathedral right behind the altar, where Richard's tomb is located

 


The coffin in which Richard's bones were carried into the cathedral for reburial (the cloth is hand-embroidered)
