#OTD 1489 Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, was lynched when attempting to collect tax. The mob’s real motive may have been vengeance for his refusal to deploy his troops at the Battle of Bosworth. More on conflicting loyalties by @bosworthbattle bit.ly/1WJhGNG
This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns. The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police. As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.
