Military honours for dead of R101
French homage to Britains dead in the great airship R101 disaster: the moving final scene at Beauvais - Spahis saluting the coffins, borne on French artillery wagons. The remains of the dead from airship R101 which crashed on its maiden voyage, were placed in numbered coffins at Allonne, the village near the scene of the disaster, and conveyed to Beauvais, where they were received with military honours and lay-in-state during the night of 6th October in the town hall. Thousands of people lined the streets as the next morning the coffins left Beauvais by special train for Boulogne
