Procession details and burial rites for the late King George II
The text outlines the royal funeral procession at Westminster, the order of march from the church to Henry VII’s Chapel, the roles of the Dean, Privy Council, and peers, and the interment with the canopy held by Privy Chamber Gentlemen. It records prayers for King George II and a call to attend the funeral, followed by a long casualty list from actions near Campen involving the Hereditary Prince of Brunswick and various Allied units, detailing killed, wounded, and prisoners, with mentions of British, Hanoverian, Hessian troops and artillery.
