Show detail Hide detail

Lloyd Robertson introduces coverage of the state funeral for Canada's former Governor General, the Right Honourable Charles Vincent Massey, held in January 1968 in Ottawa, Ontario.~Footage begins with the Parliament buildings, Wellington Street and the arrival of the present Governor General, His Excellency Roland Michener and Her Excellency Norah Michener, at Christ Church Cathedral.~A second narrator, possibly Stanley Burke, explains funeral services inside the cathedral, shown in footage of the procession led by the Crucifer that includes members of the cathedral chapter, visiting clergy, representatives of other faiths, the Bishop of Ottawa and the Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. Shots include the Massey family in the front pews, Raymond Massey, actor and brother of the deceased, reading the lesson, and the coffin, draped in a Canadian flag, bearing a wreath from Buckingham Palace and the former Governor General's awards. The Bishop of Ottawa leads the congregation in prayers of the burial office.~Outside the church, the military troops deliver a 19-gun salute as the coffin is carried out by pallbearers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The gun carriage is taken to Confederation Square to be transferred to a hearse.~A third narrator, possibly Norman DePoe, describes the motorized cortege bearing the hearse, including the cars of the chief mourners. Commentators refer to Massey's achievements as a scholar, statesman and author and to his family relationships. <60mn>
