Jan 9, 2015 · Excerpt from Fairburn's edition of the funeral of Admiral Lord Nelson : containing a correct account of his body laying in state at Greenwich, the procession by water and land, with the funeral service, and final interment of the body in a truly magnificent state coffin at St. Paul's Cathedral, on Thursday, January 9, 1806.
Nelson was buried on 9th January 1806 at St Paul's cathedral in London, after a long journey back to England. His burial there, rather than at the Abbey, was due to a decision taken by Parliament in 1795 that monuments to heroes should be erected in the largely undecorated cathedral rather than Westminster Abbey which was full of monuments.
