Lego fans spend three days creating King Richard III War of the Roses portrait
The Easter weekend event was planned by charity Fairy Bricks, which helps sick children with Lego
LEGO fans spent the weekend creating their very own Wall of the Roses — a portrait of King Richard III made out of the toy bricks.
The hunchback monarch, killed at the Battle of Bosworth during the Wars of the Roses in 1485, is constructed from 96,764 pieces.
It was put together in Leicester’s King Richard III Visitor Centre, yards from where his body was found under a car park in 2012.

“They have helped recreate something truly remarkable."
