The damage to the skull was done by the archaeologist workimg to uncovered him, she put a pickaxe through his head
Was there a reason they chose to stage the bones this way? Was this similar to how they were found in-situ? The arrangement of the spine seems odd.

Over a decade ago?! I remember reading about it here on Reddit omg

After all the tests were complete the remains were placed in a coffin for reburial in Leicester Cathedral and the public were allowed to “pay their respects” my family and I travelled two hours to Leicester and then queued for 3 hours to shuffle past the coffin draped in the English flag, it looked fantastic with soldiers at each corner in full uniform and the light shining thru the stained glass all the people saying goodbye to the last English king who fell in battle.
