He gained battles in vain, would have given his Kingdom for a horse, but at least he can now be buried with honour.

Although I like to think that I can hear the voice of Blackadder saying "So burying him under a car park was your cunning plan, was it Baldrick?" ;D

Could have been worse, he could have had a privy built on top of his remains.

I think that would have been Baldrick's cunning plan, all told.

Probably explains why John Knox is buried under one!

As someone who lives in Leicester, I reckon that he actually died while waiting for a parking space.
