Did Elizabeth I have a funeral?

Of Course, the Virgin Queen surely merited a state funeral and this was widely covered by the albeit primitive media of the time. Cycloramas were made of Elizabeth"s funeral procession with captions of events and participants such as courtiers, embassy types, Ladies In Waiting, and so on. Lady Catharine knollys- pronounced ( Nawl-lisse) was the principal mourner, she was one of Elizabeth"s ladies In waiting and it is said she not only handled the funeral arrangements for the deceased monarch but actually closed her eyes on her deathbed. Aas Elizabeth had no living relative ( Not having married) this was something of a distinction for a lady In waiting to be the Principal Mourner, immediatly behing the cortege, as normally this would be reserved for a Family member- Crown Prince,,etc. The cyclorama- by no means confined to funerary subjects- but also used for battles, parades, etc was in a very real sense a remote forerunner of both Photography and motion pictures, a clockwork device could keep the cyclorama in motion ,giving a movie-like effect. Northing new under the Sun. National Geographic did and Excellent feature article on Elizabeth I in l969, should be able to pick it up in Libraries or Book stores. It is, as far as I can see, l00% accurate.
