 The royal standard was drapec over the coffin. And on the standard were placed the glittering imperial crown, orb and scepter and the re- Ralla of the Most Noble Order oi the Garter, the supreme in knight' hood.
 The union jack was hauled dowr from the castle flagstaff, and thu royal standard was raised.
 Guns crashed in salute. Horde' of pigeons, startled, flew from thell nests in the castle battlements anc circled overhead.
 The guard of honor saluted aIlc the procession moved off along thu crooked streets.
 Heading Procession
 The procession was headed bj plumed generals, gold-braided ad' mirals and air force officers in sky. blue uniforms. They were followed by heralds in many-colored bro caded tabards, emblazoned with thu arms of Britain.
 Guards lining the route reversed arms and stood with bowed heads The crepe-covered banner of thu Qrenadier guards was dipped 1T salute as the gun carriage appeared surmounted by the priceless roya crown and regalia and the queens wreath.
 Walking behind the gun carriage King Edward had his head slightly bowed and he glanced nervously tC left and right.
 queen Mary rode in Q black Ian. dau, seated in the back and wal almost invisible to the crowds. ShC was preceded by foreign military representatives in flashing. multi. colored uniforms and glistening plumed helmets.
 Arriving at tho King George " gateway of the castle, the process sion moved through the upper ward or courtyard, past the round tower and into the lower ward, where St Georges chapel stands.
 The coffin was "piped off" tho gun carriage and carried up the chapel steps while bagpipers played the lament, Flowers of the For est"
 King Edward waited at the foot of the stairs. Inside the choir Soft' ly sang . psalm.
 Funeral Service Begins
 When the r1ourners had all erl. tered, the funeral service began. Il lasted only nine minutes
 At the doors stood the gentle- n-at-arms in white brooches, red tunics and plumed helmets. In the nave stood the guard with reversed bikes. Heralds and kings-at-arms in medieval costumes added to the rich pageantry Of the scene.
 As the coffin was placed on itS bier over the hole in the stone floor through which it later sank to the vaults, King Edward took his position at the head of the bier md the carl marshal, the youthful Duke of Norfolk, ct the foot.
 The archblshops of Canterbury and York conducted the office foi burial of the dead, assisted by the whole sacred hierarchy of the Order of the Garter--the Bishop of Win- chester as prelato of the order, tho Bishop of oxford as chancellor ane the Dean of Winchester, as regis- trar.
 One Empty Space
 Behind them stood the canorls of the order in crimson robes, with the minor Canons and lay clerks in scar let caSsocks. The Knights of the Garter stood in the stalls, each with h!s L..aner hanging above him. There was an empty space where Kaiser Wilhelm'S used to hang During the World war 1t was taken down and tremendously torn to ghreds at the chapel door.
 The streets were lined with guardSmen and with units from other regiments of the line.
 Those royal and noble Inourners who did not march in the funeral procession and came on early special trains began entering the castle walls long before the train ar- rived. The obligatory long black wells Surmounting the dead black of the women's mourning garments were striking contrast to the glit- tGring plumed helmets and crimson tunics, the feather or cooked hats of their male escorts. All the of- ticers wore black arm bands.
 A brilliant splash of color war formed by the judges of the law courts In their scarlet, ermine trimmed robes and their white full bottomed wigs.
 COfiln Sinks from View
 As the coffin sank from view at 2;l4 D. rn,, the mourners ob- served two minutes of silence. Throughout England and the em- pire, the period of silence was ob- served at i;30 D. m. but q delay in the schedule of the funeral party made it impossible for the royal mournerS to do 70.
