Description |
English: Aviation in Britain Before the First World War Cody's funeral procession. Civilians followed by sailors in the distance. Two men in a carriage can just be seen in the foreground. Despite the fact that he was not in the armed forces as a sign of the respect and esteem he was held in Cody was giving a funeral with full military honours, his coffin being borne on a gun carriage that was part of a 1/2 mile long procession, before being buried at the military cemetery in Aldershot. It is thought that every battalion based at Aldershot was represented at the funeral, along with virtually the entire compliment of the RFC. The whole of the 2 1/2 mile funeral route was lined with crowds, with around 100,000 people attending. Hundreds of telegraphs of commiseration were sent to Lela Cody including ones from King and Queen and the Secretary of State for War. Several hundred floral tributes were laid at his grave with many coming from members of the public who had never met Cody along with those from the many friends he had made during his various careers. |

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
