"Location Unknown / Unclear." - What we see in this clip is that, following Dudley Pound's funeral service at Westminster Abbey on October 26th 1943, the next day a cruiser set off from Portsmouth. Then, in mid-Channel, two small bronze coffins containing the ashes of Sir Dudley and his late wife were consigned to the sea.
At 02:30 we see two wreaths being cast overboard by their two sons.
