In reply to digby:
i know, i'm not that keen on the idea myself - personally i think he should be buried in any of three places:
a) Westminster Abbey, as he was an annointed King of England, and his wife and Brother are there.
b) York Minster, as he was brought up near there, his powerbase was there, he funded a good deal of civil and religous York, and his Son is buried somewhere in Yorkshire.
and c) Fotheringay near Peterborough, where he was born, and where his mother, father and eldest brother are buried.
i do believe he should recieve a full burial service, as the conditions of his original burial suggest that he may not have recieved one - no coffin, no shroud, no nothing, just a hole in the ground. he was buried in a 'proper' place, but it all looks rather huried...
i'm not sure a full state funeral is appropriate, but certainly a funeral that acknowledges that this was an annointed King of England who had personally fought in France and Scotland.
sadly, the current monarch is believed to have no interest whatsoever in any of her forebears before about Edward VII, and is perplexed as to why anyone else does. her religous beliefs mean that she thinks he should be buried in consecrated ground, but she has no interest that goes futher than that...
