Richard III’s Grave Gets Glass Upgrade | Leicester News

King Richard III’s grave at Leicester’s visitor centre is temporarily closed for essential glass panel repairs—starting Wednesday—after the original triple-glazed cover cracked earlier this year. The $40K fix, covered mostly by insurance, will take about three days, reopening by Saturday. The site, costing $4 million to build and transformed from an old school, became globally famous after Richard’s 2012 remains were discovered in the car park. Officials apologize for the disruption but stress the repairs are vital to preserve this historic landmark. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
