The Prince of Wales and Prince George
Of Wales were the center of interest.
They bore themselves with gravity. and
neither looked to the right nor left. All
heads were uncovered during the PASSING
of the procession.
The universal funeral aspect of the
scene was heightened by the dreary weather
and by the draperieS of black on the
houses along the route. In the process

the swords of the officers We're draped
With Grape. The charger which walked
behind the coffin was heavily caparisoned

sisted by Princess Louise The Prince
of Wales and family and Princess Mary
OF Teck are staying at Windsor tonight,
but the funeral guests have left the castle.
After the funeral the Prince of Wales
admitted that he was intensely oppressed
and weary. He had hard day. The
guests concur in saying that he appeared
to be worn and i'll, and the overstrain is
telling on him. He walked behind the
coffin three miles to Wolferton in sub
mission to prescribed usage. In addition
he had to stand long time at the
Windsor station while various distin-
gulshed persons conveyed to him ex-
pressions of coincidence. The Prince had
kindly greeting for each. He was ex-
tremeiy solicitous throughout the day for
the comfort of everybody around him.
Spectators OF the funeral agree in say
ing that It's most notable feature was its
simplicity, the absence of spectacular
display and the plainness OF the cere-
monies, features hitherto unknown in
connection with the burials of Princes of
so high rank.
