Funeral of Cetl Rhodes in Parliament House
A South Africa funeral for Cetl Rhodes drew a massive crowd as troops lined the streets and the gun carriage led by eight horses moved from Parliament House. Jameson and six others attended the procession with Colonel Rhodes as chief mourner and representatives from Lord Milner and Sir Walter Hutchinson. The archbishop gave remarks noting Rhodes faults but his stature, and the De Beers saloon car served as a chapelle ardente. Public buildings were draped in mourning, marking a two and a half hour ceremony and a historic show of grief in Rhodesia’s history.
