The body, when put upon the bier, is covered over from head to foot.
His body was dragged from the bier, while being conveyed to the funeral pile, and treated with the greatest indignity.
And he came and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still.
During the night of the 25th of May his body was conveyed from Hawarden to London and the coffin was placed on a bier in Westminster Hall.
Throughout the 26th and 27th a vast train of people, officially estimated at 250,000, and drawn from every rank and class, moved in unbroken procession past the bier.
