26th Earl of Crawford and 9th Earl of Balcarres, FRS, FRAS, KT
On 4 February, the body of the Earl was buried in the family estate at Balcarres. It had
been transferred from London, by overnight express, and thence by special train to the local
station at Kilconquhar. From there, the coffin, covered by a Lindsay tartan plaid, was drawn on
a wagon by a team of four horses to the chapel on the estate. This unroofed, seventeenth century building, houses the remains of several members of the Lindsay clan.
Simultaneously with the funeral of the late Earl of Crawford at Balcarres, a memorial
service was held in the Chapel-Royal, St. James's Palace, London, by permission of the King.
He was represented at the service by Lord Herschel. Amongst the large congregation were close family friends, members of many titled families, and representatives from many of the bodies of which the Earl had been a member. For the Royal Philatelic Society, the service was attended by Messrs. M.P. Castle, C.E. McNaughtan, R.B. Yardley and E.D. Bacon.
A memorial service was also held on the same day in Wigan Parish Church, attended by
the Mayor and Corporation of the borough. A detachment of the 5th Battalion, Manchester
Regiment, of which Lord Crawford had been honorary Colonel, headed the civic procession
