His f|-ief affected hfs usually stolid brother, the Duke of Glou cester, who reached out a hand to touch him and then wept himself. Queen Elizabeth II wept too as she left her seat among the royaH ladies in the choir stalls to sprinkle earth on the coffin of the old lady she used to call “Grandma Eng land.” "Ashes to, ashes, dust to dust!” the Archbishop of Canterbury in-, toned. And the coffin, covered by Queen Mary’s personal standard, slowly sank beneath the floor of the chapel to the royal vaults below. As the simple family funeral service ended and the mourners be gan 'to leave, Queen Elizabeth H* paused at the door and looked back. Everybody stopped. Slowly and with infinite grace the queen swept low in $ curtsey toward the spot where the coffin had rested. The other royal ladies turned and curtsied. The kings and princ es and dukes turned and bowed. * The people said their farewells at the lying in state in London’s Westminster Hair where the coffin of the 85-year-old queen rested from Sunday afternoon until early today. MANY MOURNERS Before the ' hall’s great doors were closed almost 120,000 persons had passed by the purple-draped catafalque—3,soo an hour. Millions more saw. it on television. At about 6 p..m. Monday three of Queen Mary’s children—the Dukes of Windaor. and Gloucester and the Princess royal—arrived and stool facing the catafalque for , half an hour. With them were the Duchess -of Gloucester, the Earl of Hare- ■ wood—son of the princess royal— and his countess. Windsor, always his mother’s fa vorite despite his abdication and marriage to an American divorcee, stood in the center of the group. The men bowed and the women curtsied in the direction ,of the coffin upon arriving and departing. This morning the coffin was biought by automobile to Windsor .where the royal standard of Mary’s granddaughter. Queen Elizabeth 11, , fluttered over the castle. At 6 a. m. es.t., the coffin was , brought in by a bearer party of ;the queen’s company of the Gren adier Guards preceded by the Lord Chamberlain, Lord Claud Hamll | ton, oomptrolle'r of Queen Mary’s household, carried in her insignia. Queen Mary was placed in the royal vault next to her husband, King George V, who died in 1936. Services For Benson Man . s Joe Morris, 60, of' 3, died in. Jotpstqn Memorial Hos pital at 2:30 p. m.
