In accordance with Lord Clyde's desire that his funeral should be devoid of all ostentation, preparations were made for his interment in Kensal Green Cemetery. But the Government, rightly interpreting the public feeling and in unison with the ecclesiastical authorities, held it fitting that a national tribute should be paid to his memory by according to his remains a grave in Westminster Abbey. Thither accordingly without ostentation all that was mortal of him who had died the foremost soldier of England was borne on August 22nd; and with every demonstration of respect from the highest and noblest of the land and in the presence of a great company of his friends and followers, Lord Clyde was laid to his rest among the brother-warriors, the statesmen, and the other illustrious men who sleep around him. On a plain stone marking his grave is inscribed the following epitaph:-- BENEATH THIS STONE REST THE REMAINS OF COLIN CAMPBELL, LORD CLYDE, WHO, BY HIS OWN DESERTS, THROUGH FIFTY YEARS OF ARDUOUS SERVICE FROM THE EARLIEST BATTLES IN THE PENINSULAR WAR TO THE PACIFICATION OF INDIA IN 1858, ROSE TO THE RANK OF FIELD-MARSHAL AND THE PEERAGE. HE DIED LAMENTED BY THE QUEEN, THE ARMY, AND THE PEOPLE, 14TH AUGUST 1863, IN THE 71ST YEAR OF HIS AGE. THE END _Printed by_ R. & R. CLARK, _Edinburgh_. FOOTNOTES: [1] Afterwards Sir Harry Jones.
