Légende

The Procession to the Mausoleum, 1857. Funeral of John Henry Manners, the fifth Duke of Rutland, Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire. 'The mournful procession having reached the avenue leading to the mausoleum...commenced the impressive burial service: "I am the Resurrection and the Life." The coffin, on being borne into the mausoleum, was placed on the platform, and, on the conclusion of the lesson, taken out of the 15 c. of Corinthians, the coffin, with the cushion, ducal coronet, and swords, was gradually lowered into the vault prepared for its reception. The funeral service was read with earnest solemnity by the Rev. W. Selwyn, and the responses were given with equal impressiveness by the other reverend gentlemen and members of the family. At the close of the service the mourners returned to the Castle, and the multitude of visitors to their respective abodes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
