DAME MARGARET'S FUNERAL

After a period of illness following a fall when she injured her hip Dame Margaret Lloyd George died on the 20 January 1941. Because of snow drifts David Lloyd George was trapped in Denbighshire and could not be with his wife at the end and this worried him greatly. In the male-only funeral Lloyd George was supported by his sons, Richard and Gwilym. The coffin was taken to be buried on a lorry pulled by sixty five members of the Home Guard.
