. . . The funeral of Canon Macdonnell took place on Saturday at Peterborough Cathedral. The body was met at the west door by the Dean and Chapter, honorary canons, and choir, Canon Clayton reading the opening sentences. The coffin was placed under the lantern tower, at the entrance to the choir. The Dean read the lesson.
