Six Kings and Five Queens were among the Royal Guests and Relatives at the Funeral of King George V at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on this day in 1936, 90 years ago, following a Procession through London.
Following the death of King George V at Sandringham House, the Coffin was taken to the Church of St Mary Magdalene, before being taken to London for the Lying-in-State at Westminster Hall, where King Edward VIII, the Duke of York, Duke of Gloucester, and Duke of Kent gave a ‘Vigil of the Princes’ on the eve of the Funeral, which followed a State Dinner at Buckingham Palace.
The following morning, the Royal Family were followed by Foreign Royalty and Dignitaries from Westminster Hall down Whitehall to Trafalgar Square, under Admiralty Arch into The Mall, turning into St James’s Street and then along Piccadilly to Hyde Park Corner. Entering Hyde Park, the procession passed along the East Carriage Road to Marble Arch and from there to Paddington Station, where the Coffin was taken to Windsor.
In Windsor, the Procession wound its way through the Castle to St George’s Chapel for the Funeral Service, before being interred in the Royal Vault beneath the Quire , which was transferred to a monumental sarcophagus in the North Nave Aisle in 1939.
