MPX5137434: The sad and impressive scene at historic Westminster Hall when the coffins of the forty-eight men killed in the R101 disaster lay in honoured state. As officer and men of the R.A.F., the latter with arms reversed, kept motionless guard beside the biers, around which were hundreds of beautiful wreaths, with that sent by the King and Queen at the head. An endless stream of people, numbering many thousands, passed in silent homage through the dimly-lit hall and paused reverently around the coffins, each of which was covered with the Union Jack., 10th October 1930 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images
