FRANZ JOSEF'S FUNERAL PART 3 [Allocated Title]

Disjointed Hungarian film of mourners at the funeral of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria-Hungary, Vienna, 30th November 1916.

First, the arrival by car and carriage of the various mourners at the west door of Sankt Stefan's Cathedral. Recognisable among the dignitaries arriving are Archduke Joseph, Archduke Friedrich, Archduke Eugen, King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, Prince Henry of Prussia, Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia and finally the new Emperor Karl with Empress Zita and their son Otto. At the end of the service, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany leaves by the west door, getting into his car. This leads a procession of cars through the streets of Vienna, past the buildings in the centre of the city. Finally, out of time-sequence, is a scene of the Emperor Karl and Adjutant Lobkovitz waiting for Wilhelm's train at the main station. The train arrives and Wilhelm gets out.
