    Nice to know that (according to Queen Elizabeth) Richard III's Christian faith "sustained him in life and death."http://nyti.ms/1D18zkl

        @sapinker I know she sounds silly saying that, but you've got to remember that all monarchs know that their royal rights come from God.

        @sapinker Well, she'd not be queen if Richard had not slithered into the monarchy. Sadly, some of my ancestors were involved.

        Body bent, spirit spent, a king fallen. Indeed a momentous day for the passing of Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson. #RichardIII @sapinker
