The Funeral of Mr. Gladstone: the funeral cortege at the entrance to the Abbey, 1898. 'From Photograph by Bolas. The cortege appeared just on the stroke of eleven, but several hours previously the congregation within the Abbey had been assembling. Ticket-holders were admitted from half-past eight in the morning until ten o'clock. By that time many distinguished people had entered and taken their places...At a brief interval followed the Earl Marshal, immediately preceding the coffin, on either side of which walked the pall-bearers. These were: On the right hand - Lord Rendel, the Duke of Rutland, Mr. Arthur J. Balfour, Lord Salisbury, and nearest the head, the Prince of Wales; on the left - Mr. Armitstead, Lord Rosebery, Sir William Harcourt, Lord Kimberley, and, in the corresponding position to his royal father, the Duke of York. Close behind the coffin, in full canonicals, came the Bishop of London'. British Prime Minister William Eward Gladstone (born 1809) died on 19 May 1898, and was buried in Westminster Abbey in London on 26 May. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
