The Country practically shut down in mourning. There was a one year interval between Victoria"s demise and the coronation of Edward Vii, the merry monarch of the cigar stores! This affected coins and stamps- the new Edwardian issues not coming out until l902. Of some interest historically Victoria"s funeral arrangements in part ( as she died on the Isle of Wight) were coordinated by Wireless Telegraph from the Mainland. This is somewhat different from the Florist"s Telegraph delivery ( Mercury helmet guy) still active.Almost certainly this was the first Radio-dispatched funeral. Victoria was eventually interred in the Frogmore Mausoleum in the Windsor castle home parks. She is NOT buried in Westminster abbey- though memorial services were certainly held there.
