• ThisIsLeicestershire.co.uk: King buried with honour whatever form the tomb, By Leicester Mercury (20.03.2013) – For completeness sake I include the statement by the acting dean of Leicester Cathedral, Barry Naylor. Though I still don’t see, how the acting dean of Leicester Cathedral can expect tomb designs by the contributing architects, when in the directives it is almost compeletly ruled out as having no chance to be successful and be chosen for a final design. Every architect will try to ascertain that his design has at least a chance.

 
As our poll about the burial is not “worded in an unfortunate way“, as the acting dean of Leicester likes to dismiss the polls mentioning a ‘slab’, we recommend showing your opinion by filling out our poll.
As it is not worded in an influencing way, you can freely let us know what you think about the burial location and decision-makers to preserve the best interest of King Richard III.
