Sorry for the lack of news round-ups this month, I’ve been trying to cram too much catch-up stuff into the weekends lately! So here’s several weeks’ worth of stories that caught my eye:
* Madame Tussauds figures and five shops to be auctioned – Anyone want to buy wax figures of Henry VIII *and* all the wives? If I had the money (and space to put them) I’d be tempted to buy them just get the costumes. I love that dress on the Anne Boleyn figure!
* Richard III reburial fundraising appeal starts – The diocese of Leicester said it had raised

I’m afraid the queens would be without benefit of clothing for a bit while I tried on their outfits!!
