They want to see York MP Huge Nearly’s bones interred in Leicester Cathedral.

A spokesman said that this would be a lot closer to his constituency than he usually managed to get and “co-location with a King might appeal to him”

In a separate development workers on the new York Minster Revealed project are rumoured to have uncovered the bones of a horse.
This has led to speculation that it may be the remains of “Prince” the intended mount of Richard III at the fateful battle of Bosworth in 1485.
Prince was ostracised by Yorkists when he failed to take up an offer of a “kingdom” for a ride on the fateful battle day. He later blamed his agent for extending negotiations unnecessarily.
Prince eventually made his way north up the M1 turnpike before collapsing with exhaustion in Deangate close to the stable where he had been born.
Other commentators have claimed that the recently found bones belong to “Dobbin” who used to pull a tourist coach through Deangate. He is said to have mysteriously disappeared down a large pothole when Labour were last in power in the City.
Now DNA tests are likely to reveal whether the remains of “Prince” have finally been discovered.
A spokesman from Tesco has offered to “deal” with the remains whatever the results of the DNA test prove to be.
