Footnotes
Neither Nelson's estranged wife nor Emma attended the funeral, although Fanny was represented: "The coach most remarked in the procession by The Times was 'the private chariot of the deceased lord - empty - the blinds drawn up - the coachman and footman in deep mourning [as per this list], with bouquets of cypress.' The Times was mistaken. The carriage was Frances Lady Nelson's. She and Garter king of arms had silently arranged that it should take its place with the mourning coaches, and it carried his family arms and hers. It was the last gesture of a constant wife" (Terry Coleman, Nelson: The Man and the Legend, 2001, p.334). "Chevalier" and "Gaetano the Italian", who feature on this list, were Nelson's two principal servants, his steward William Chevalier and his valet Gaetano Spedillo (or Spedilo). It was they who carried Nelson's luggage on the last journey from Merton to the Victory, and were, with Dr Scott and Walter Burke, in constant attendance upon their master in the ship's cockpit as he lay dying.
