:Sure you did! It's an old, old story. But if you care to read the article, under 'Alternative Views', you will see that there is absolutely no contemporary evidence for this, nor is anything of the kind suggested in his Will. In fact it was disgraceful of the Channel to peddle it (I acted as adviser, but they failed to consult me on this one). His secretary allegedly found him dead 'between the bed and bench' (nothing about 'standing up'). His ''present'' tomb, certainly, is firmly horizontal (see photo in article). It's possible that the 'standing up' idea originally came from the fact that one surviving section of the chapel where he was originally buried contains a small vertical alcove a bit like a built-in wardrobe, and the owners of the restaurant that now incorporates it like to claim that 'that was his tomb'. Wouldn't you?! The History Channel is currently planning another one, and their producers have promised me that this time it really ''will'' be factual. I'll believe it when I see it! ;) --[[User:PL|PL]] 16:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
