EDITORS COMMENTS
King Edward VII's State Funeral: A Nation in Mourning This poignant image captures the solemn and historic moments following the death of King Edward VII of Great Britain and Ireland, and Emperor of India, in May 1910. The top photograph depicts the Lying-in-State ceremony in Westminster Hall, where the late monarch's coffin is guarded by Gentlemen-at-Arms and Yeomen. The somber atmosphere is palpable as the King's subjects pay their respects to their deceased ruler, with the ornate architecture of Westminster Hall serving as a fitting backdrop to this momentous occasion. The bottom photograph captures another significant moment in the state funeral proceedings, as the King's coffin is also Lying-in-State in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace. This time, the guard of honor consists of Grenadier Guards, their scarlet uniforms and bearskins adding a sense of regality and grandeur to the scene. The King's death marked the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of a new reign, and these images serve as a poignant reminder of the solemnity and pageantry that accompanied the transition of power. These photographs, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offer a unique glimpse into the historic events that marked the death of King Edward VII and the beginning of a new era in British history.
