Archaeologists who made the startling discovery of the body of Richard III in a Leicester car park are returning later to start a new dig.
Reported by the BBC websiteDistant relatives of Richard III have been granted permission for a judicial review of the decision to rebury the king's remains in Leicester.
Leicester Cathedral has begun a £1m rebuilding project to accommodate the king's tomb while the city council plans to build a £4m visitor centre commemorating his life.
However, the Plantagenet Alliance want the king to be laid to rest in York Minster.
Mr Justice Haddon-Cave said he would grant the review "on all grounds" but warned the parties against beginning an "unseemly, undignified and unedifying" legal tussle.
He urged the parties to "avoid embarking on the legal Wars of the Roses part 2".
