Was it really spring 2014 when the crown that John Ashdown-Hill had made for Richard III’s reinterment was put on display at Tewkesbury Abbey? All of nine years ago!
Like many others I went to see it and happened to enter the abbey at a time when there was a lull in the arrivals. I was incredibly honoured to be greeted by Dr Ashdown-Hill himself and taken in person to view the crown.
I encountered him again by the tomb of George, Duke of Clarence. All in all an occasion to remember.
