Invitation to EDW's Lying-In-State (LOC)

    Edward VII died on 6 May 1910.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_VII
    "Alexandra [his wife] refused to allow Edward's body to be moved for eight days afterwards, though she allowed small groups of visitors to enter his room. On 11 May, the late king was dressed in his uniform and placed in a massive oak coffin, which was moved on 14 May to the throne room, where it was sealed and lay in state, with a guardsman standing at each corner of the bier. Despite the time that had elapsed since his death, Alexandra noted his body remained "wonderfully preserved". On the morning of 17 May, the coffin was placed on a gun carriage and drawn by black horses to Westminster Hall, with the new king, his family and Edward's favourite dog, Caesar, walking behind. Following a brief service, the royal family left, and the hall was opened to the public; over 400,000 people filed past the coffin over the next two days."

    @Jim Rees, I never would have even thought about that, but that is a very real concern! Isn't the big pot o' molten lead just completely open on the top!?
  • Jim Rees said:
    It's been a few years but I remember tossing slugs into the lead pot and I don't remember there being a cover. But maybe they added one for railroad use.
  • Jim said:
    The pot has a cover. The wire-ring handle that is used to open it is visible in the large size image. It is just beyond the left vice handle near the cams.
