Various shots of the funeral procession, king and royalty of many countries walking behind coffin. Various shots of coffin immediately followed by the new King Gustav VI, with his brothers Prince Bertal and Prince Wilhelm. Then came King Haakon, King Frederick of Denmark. Duke of Gloucester, and Lord Mountbatten. Crowds line streets, with heads bowed. Inside chapel. Coffin taken from catafalgue. Misty rain fell during funeral. Archibishop throws earth on coffin. Flags on all buildings raised to full mast.
