The name given in this piece of "Kinkhead" is wrong.
The funeral is actually that of Flt Lt Samuel Kinkead DSO, DSC & Bar, DFC & Bar, a South African fighter ace with 33 WWI victories for the RAF.
He was killed on 12 March 1928, enabling you to alter the current date range of 1920-29.
The location of the funeral seen here is All Saints Church, Fawley, Hampshire.

The funeral was held on Friday, 16 March 1928.
The story of Kink's adventurous life is summarised on this page of my website:
