Les funérailles de Lord Palmerston : le clergé recevant le corps à la porte ouest de l'abbaye de Westminster, 1865. 'La partie centrale du plancher de la nef a été maintenue dégagée et ouverte pour que le cortège passe de la porte ouest au transept, mais les allées latérales étaient remplies d'une congrégation serrée, aal habillée de noir, parmi laquelle les plus proches du cercueil, comme il était porté le long, étaient trente ou quarante serviteurs et ouvriers de la ferme de Lord Palmerston, avec quelques-uns de ses locataires de Romsey et d'ailleurs, qui était venu à Londres ce matin-là pour assister aux funérailles... le grand bel

The Funeral of Lord Palmerston: the clergy receiving the body at the West Door of Westminster Abbey, 1865.

Several thousand persons, of both sexes, of all ages, and of different classes, filled the whole available space and saw the proudly-decorated hearse stop at the Abbey door; they saw the crimson coffin lifted out and covered with that large black and white pall of velvet and satin, which some of the most illustrious men in England stood ready to bear. Then it was carried into the Abbey, at the door of which it was received by Dean Stanley...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
