Lord Byron Lying in State at No 20 George Street
Vast crowds gathered at No 20 George Street to view the late Lord Byron in state. Officials restricted access to those with admission tickets from the executors or Mr Wooddeson the undertaker. The room was draped in black, with the coffin and urn presented with plumes, escutcheons, and a grand pall, while spectators struggled for a view amid a guarded setup and mourners including Colonel Leigh and Lord Holland among those attending. The procession and dignitaries listed include Lord Melbourne, Earl of Carlisle, Duke of Belford, and Marl Grey, with Byron’s suite and a noted Italian doctor accompanying the remains to England. The account details the body’s appearance, the preservation state, and the historic Greece-painted escutcheon near the coffin.
