A facial reconstruction of Richard III was unveiled yesterday showing the last Plantagenet king as a “living and breathing” monarch following the discovery of his skeleton in a council car park. The bust shows Richard, who was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, with a large chin and nose, thin lips, prominent cheekbones and one shoulder higher than the other – as suggested by his spinal curvature. The scientific reconstruction was created by experts at Dundee University, based on a CT scan of the remains that were found in an archaeological dig in September in the former choir of the Grey Friars Church in Leicester.
