S4E2: Vera's account of Edward VII's funeral procession - May 1910

Send us a text

This episode is all about the funeral procession of Edward VII in May 1910, as winessed by the Machell Cox siblings, through handwritten family letters, read by Frances.

Vera again demonstrates how she is a great letter writer, and Bernard's annotations, on the funeral programme, after WW1, were unexpected.

Does anyone know any more about the King's little dog Caesar? How much of the procession did he walk in? Frances would love to know.
