Prince Albert died on 14 December 1861 at Windsor Castle. His remains were moved to the entrance to the Royal Vault in St George's Chapel at Windsor before being taken to the new Mausoleum at Frogmore. This painting shows the funeral procession moving down to the Lower Ward of the Castle. The hearse was drawn by six horses and escorted by the 2nd Regiment of Life Guards, dismounted, and by the 1st Battalion of Scots Fusiliers with reversed arms. Four carriages followed the hearse. Benjamin Disraeli's comment on Prince Albert's death was: 'With Prince Albert we have buried our Sovereign. This German Prince has governed England for twenty-one years with a wisdom and energy such as none of our kings has ever shown'.
