"10th ANNIVERSARY 26th March 2015 - King Richard reburied On 26th March 2015, King Richard was reburied in Leicester Cathedral in a service led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and in the presence of TRH The Countess of Wessex (now Duchess of Edinburgh) and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. A poem, written for the occasion by Carol Ann Duffy, the Poet Laureate, was read at the service by the actor Benedict Cumberbatch, a distant relative of the King."
