  1. 6 out of 10 – I’m going to get a lottery ticket! I was there once but everything I know about Leicestershire I learned just a second ago. Cheers!

    • That one made the national news. My wife used to walk across that car park on her way between offices – clearly having no idea who lay beneath her feet as she did so!

        • The Bosworth Battlefield is only a few miles from where I live, so I was able to watch the ‘cortege’ drive by on the day that the reburial ceremonies began. I also visited Leicester Cathedral during the ‘lying in state’ and took some photos, one of which was used by the Richard III Society as the cover picture for their commemorative brochure. It was quite an occasion!

    • Rex, If I scored as many as that on a quiz about Montana – without using any outside sources – I`d be pretty proud of myself!
