William Cash attends the Requiem Mass at Westminster Cathedral for Baron Guthrie of Craigiebank
Under a grey October sky, shortly after 2 p.m. on Wednesday, 15 October, a solitary riderless horse – with its boots reversed in the stirrups – stood close to the steps of Westminster Cathedral. At the same time, an oak coffin, draped in military flags, containing the body of Baron Guthrie of Craigiebank (17 November 1938 – 18 September 2025) was carried up the steps of Westminster Cathedral by a bearer party of soldiers from the Welsh Guards.
