Funeral of Edward VII : ウィキペディア英語版 | Funeral of Edward VII
The funeral of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland occurred on Friday, 20 May 1910. It was one of the largest gatherings of European royalty ever to take place, and one of the last before many royal families were deposed in World War I and its aftermath. (King Manuel II of Portugal would lose his throne much sooner, in October of that same year.) ==Organisation== King Edward VII had died on 6 May, and the funeral was held two weeks later. Huge crowds gathered to watch the procession, which passed from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where a small ceremony was conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Randall Davidson, before a small group of official mourners – the late King's widow, Queen Alexandra, his son King George V, his daughter The Princess Victoria, his brother the Duke of Connaught, and his nephew the German Emperor. The remainder of the funeral party waited outside the Hall. Then the whole procession proceeded via Whitehall and the Mall, from Hyde Park Corner up to the Marble Arch, and thence to Paddington Station. From there, a train conveyed the mourners to Windsor. The procession then continued on to Windsor Castle, and a full funeral ceremony was held in St George's Chapel. The funeral directors to the Royal Household appointed to assist during this occasion were the family business of William Banting of St. James’s Street, London. The Banting family also conducted the funerals of King George III in 1820, King George IV in 1830, the Duke of Gloucester in 1834, the Duke of Wellington in 1852, Prince Albert in 1861, Prince Leopold in 1884, and Queen Victoria in 1901. The royal undertaking warrant for the Banting family ended in 1928 with the retirement of William Westport Banting.〔Todd Van Beck, "The Death and State Funeral of Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill", part II, in ''Canadian Funeral News'' (October 2012), Vol. 40 Issue 10, p. 10 ((online ))〕
