(12 Jun 1950) After a private service in the Tower of London for family mourners, the coffin containing Lord Wavell's mortal remains was borne out by men of the old regiment, the Black Watch. The coffin was laid on board an army launch for the journey to Westminster Abbey. The pall-bearers for the journey included Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Cunningham, Field Marshals Alanbrooke, Montgomery and Auchinleck, as well as other senior Service leaders.
