The Funeral of Queen Victoria 1901

A more sombre but still interesting though very short silent film. It's more interesting I think for the fact that King and Kaiser are united in grief, but not for that much longer after that.

Are any of the people taking part identifiable - for example the two mounted hatless figures in heavy cloaks following the coffin ?

@HughJason There are many good historians on here, trouble is, I'm not one of them. But I am sure someone will eventually reply with the info on attendees in view etc. J

@HughJason

They're not hatless, you can just make out the dragoon helmets and swords they are carrying.

Has to be troopers from either the Life Guards or Blues & Royals.

Recent poll show that 68% British born people want a weaker goverment & stonger crown, more power to the crown regarding military, status in europe. Many feel that the goverment are looking after themselves & not the people as once they term is up their move on. The queen as been our head for 60yrs, i am sure we would not be in europe or half the wars if she had more power. After all her children,grandchildren would fight with us. You cant say that for the goverments family.

@ILoveCustardCreams2 I was being polite and just making an observation, perhaps you are ashamed of being British?
