23 April 1880 Funeral-Dr. Kenealy

The body of Dr. KENEALY was removed from his London residence in  Tavistock Square yesterday afternoon, and taken to Victoria Street for  conveyance to Hingleton, in Sussex, where the funeral will take place  to-day. About 2000 persons had assembled in Tavistock Square to witness the removal   of the doctor’s remains, which were taken up in a hearse open at the sides,   drawn by four horses; the coffin was covered in  a handsome pall, and a  large number of wreaths and floral devices were placed upon it. A body of police   headed the procession which was formed to accompany the hearse to the station,   and a band of about twenty performers played the Dead March, and some 20   carriages containing members of the family and their friends followed, and then   came more than a thousand persons walking four abreast, many of them  wearing   crape armlets decorated with blue rosettes and stars. These persons were members of the Magna Charta Associations, founded by the   deceased. There was a large gathering along the line of route, which was via   Russell Square, Holborn Street, Martin’s Lane, Trafalgar Street, Whitehall,   Parliament Street, and Victoria Street. By the time the station was reached the proportions of the procession had   considerably increased.
