Following Mountbatten’s death, he was granted the honour of a Ceremonial Funeral - held at Westminster Abbey, London, on 5th September 1979 which was televised throughout the World, for the news of the murder of this retired old sailor affected many, not just in the United Kingdom but throughout the World. The congregation consisted of Royalty, Servicemen and women, politicians and statesmen from many nations and the ceremony itself was planned with full Naval precision - by the one person who was probably upset that he would not see it - Mountbatten himself.
Mountbatten was subsequently buried in a private family service at Romsey Abbey, Romsey, Hampshire - not far from his beloved Broadlands.
