HWW Leicester East Midlands 6th December 2024

On King Richard's Road (the A47) in Leicester there is an impressive wall mural of, not surprisingly, Richard III presumably at the Battle of Bosworth.

More than 500 years after his death the king's body was discovered under a car park & reburied in the cathedral. Leicester has always celebrated the royal connection but since the find tourism has really increased.

HWW to everyone. Have a great mid-week day.

A beautifully painted mural, Pete. I love the way it extends to the bottom left. There's so much dynamism here, so much movement that you can almost hear the violence. Very well caught, Pete. Your picture does the painting justice (something that poor old Richard III has never received in the public domain). HWW, mate.

so wird ein tristes Gebäude interessant HWW

Eine Schlacht auch mit Pferden wird gerne als Szene genommen.
Das Leid und der Tod spielen im Bild keine Rolle.
Damals handelte es sich auch um den Tod der Anführer.
-im Gegenasatz zu heute wo im Normalfall die Führer zu Hause sicher im warmen Palast sitzen

Thanks Ulrich. Richard III was the last English King to lead his troops in battle.
