Remains of Henry VIII's birthplace uncovered

Archaeologists working at London's Old Royal Naval College have discovered remains of the palace where Henry VIII and his daughters Mary and Elizabeth were born.

William Palin, the college's director of conservation, told PM presenter Carolyn Quinn that "a beautiful glazed tile floor with about 100 tiles, surrounded by a little wall" can be clearly seen.
