- At the head of the procession, Dr. W. Scott stands at the open doors to the tomb, he holds the text to his sermon, a dog relieves himself on his leg.
- Two flag bearers follow, behind them stands George Grenville carrying a child-sized coffin, next in line are five men, in various states of distress, followed by two bishops who bring up the rear.
- On the quay, behind the bishops are two bales labeled "Stamps from America" and "Black cloth return'd from America."
- There are three ships "Conway", "Rockingham", and "Grafton" moored in the river.
