The remains of King Richard III will leave the University of Leicester tomorrow and after a procession through the county and city will be placed in Leicester Cathedral ahead of the reinterment on Thursday. Here we take a look at the timings of the events.
10.50am: King Richard III's coffin leaves the Fielding Johnson Building, University of Leicester. This is the first time the coffin will have been seen by the public.

11.40am: The cortege departs the university.
12.30pm: The procession arrives at Fenn Lane Farm, the closest place to Richard III's death, where there will be a private ceremony led by the Rev Hilary Surridge.
Soil from three places in Richard's life – Middleham, in North Yorkshire, Fotheringhay, in Northamptonshire, and Fenn Lane – will be brought together.
1.25pm: Dadlington. A guard of honour from schools will welcome the procession. Local clergy will join the cortege, with its mounted escort in medieval battle, to process around the village green.
There will be a 10-minute service on the green, led by the Rev Linda Blay.
Morris dancers, handbell ringers and a community choir will perform. People will be able to visit the church where there will be an exhibition of records relating to the battlefield. A guide will be available to answer questions. The events here finish at 5pm.
1.55pm: The procession arrives at Sutton Cheney for a 10-minute ceremony outside St James the Greater Church, led by the Rev Julia Hargreaves.
A recorder group will play medieval music before and after the cortege stops for prayers. Six men-at-arms from the Beaufort Companye, a medieval re-enactment group, will escort the cortege through the village.
Refreshments will be available in the village hall before and after the cortege passes.

3.55pm: The cortege departs from Market Bosworth for Newbold Verdon and Desford.
4.30pm: The procession comes to Leicester's Bow Bridge – the site of the bridge from which Richard is believed to have ridden out to Bosworth – where the mayor, lord mayor and guild of freemen will welcome the remains at the medieval city boundary. A garland of roses will be wrapped around the bridge post.
4.50pm: Walking procession where the coffin will be carried into St Nicholas Church accompanied by St Nicholas Singers.
A Litany of the Saints and short prayers will be said. The service is by invitation only. The coffin will leave the church and be placed on a horse-drawn hearse.
