The Funeral of His Late Royal Highness the Prince Consort: the Hearse approaching St. George's Chapel, 1861. Prince Albert's hearse, drawn by six horses, accompanied by mourners. 'On Monday the remains of the late Prince Consort were interred in the last resting-place of England's Sovereigns - the Chapel Royal of St. George's, Windsor. By the express desire of his Royal Highness the funeral was of the plainest and most private character; but the chief men of the State were assembled to do honour to his obsequies, and by every sign of sorrow and mourning the nation at large manifested its sense of the loss which it had sustained... The solemnity of the musical service, and the almost imperceptible motion of the bier as it approached the Royal vault, were peculiarly imposing'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
