A king’s last days

AN audio tour has been developed to help visitors re-live the story of King Richard III’s final days in Leicestershire. It follows the discovery last year of the remains of Richard III – the last Plantagenet King of England – underneath a car park in Leicester.

The tour is free to download onto smartphones and tablet devices via iTunes or by using QR codes on the Richard III interpretation panels across the city, at Bosworth, Donington le Heath and Kirby Muxloe Castle, online at www.visitleicester.info, www.storyofleicester.com, www.goleicestershire.com and websites for Bosworth Battlefield, Donington le Heath, Bradgate Park and Kirby Muxloe Castle, as well as from the Visit Leicester centre in Leicester.

A £4 million Richard III Visitor Centre is scheduled to open later in 2014. The centre will house an exhibition which will guide visitors through the dramatic story of the king's life, his death in Bosworth in 1485 and the story of discovery of his remains.
