Funeral of Sir Henry Morton Stanley
Sir Henry Morton Stanley, journalist and explorer, requested to be buried alongside David Livingstone in Westminster Abbey. He died on 10 May 1904 but the dean of the Abbey refused his wish. Although his funeral was held in Westminster Abbey on 17 May 1904, he was buried in the cemetery of the St. Michael and All Angels Church in the village of Pirbright, Surrey, close to country residence, Furzehill Place.
This admission ticket to the funeral of Sir Henry Morton Stanley grants entrance into the Abbey by the 'new north door'. It is printed on cream card and with a black border.
