Queen Boudicca’s Grave Found
On the 22nd of February, 1988, the Daily Telegraph announced that the grave of Queen Boudicca (died AD 61), popularly known as Boadicea, had been discovered at King’s Cross station in London. But British Rail were not overjoyed :
“The grave of Boadicea, the chariot-borne warrior queen who fought the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago, has been located by archeologists ~ they believe that it is under platform eight at King’s Cross station.
” ‘We have just refurbished platform eight and anyone wanting to dig it up had better come up with a strong case,’ said a British Rail spokesman.”
Dear Spokesman, I am a direct descendant of Queen Boudicca and I say to you, as great and honorable as England has always been and always will be, that you must not allow the discovery of her Queens hallowed grave to give way to dishonor. Her love for her country and her loyalty to it’s people must be preserved in the very roots of England’s history and her grave must be recognized as a very important part of it!
Thank You, Adrian E. Hurd

Adrian, be assured I agree with you. It would be good to have a memorial of some sort, though, perhaps on the spot. But I can’t see Network Rail digging up a station platform to do it.
