Katherine of Aragon, Petersborough Cathedral. Katherine's grave is unique in that you're more likely to find fruit than flowers on it. Her emblem was a pomegranate from her native Spain.

Interesting that the Spanish Ambassador even tries to attend,and that she is held in such high esteem .

I made a thread on her which you might be interested in on here,about Ampthill castle in Ampthill Park,which is just down the road from where i live.
That's (i'm sure you know) is where she was held during her divorce from Henry VIII and was one of his favourite hunting spots.
