King and Queen to attend Trematon's funeral

April 16, 1928

It was announced earlier today that King George V and Queen Mary will attend the funeral of Viscount Trematon, the queen's nephew, on Friday at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
The service will be "simple and private," and will be conducted by the Dean of Windsor. The young Viscount will be buried at Frogmore under the Albert Memorial Chapel, where his grandparents lie. His body will arrive tomorrow night from France aboard a British destroyer.
Lord Trematon's parents, the Earl of Athlone and Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, will not be able to attend the service as they are in South Africa. Lord Athlone, who is Queen Mary's brother, is the Governor General of South Africa.
