All respect and honours were shown to the remains of the departed queen. Every insignia of royalty was used to show her state, innumerable masses were offered up for the repose of her soul; and, after lying in state till the 12th of November, her body was removed, attended by a grand funeral procession, from Hampton Court to Windsor for interment, where it was laid in the vault of St. George's Chapel. In the will of Henry, directions were found inserted, that the bones of his "loving Queen Jane" were to be placed in his tombinstructions which were faithfully carried into effect.
