An account of this event was published by Tagesbote aus Böhmen 15/1/1858. The unsigned correspondent related: ‘The Funeral service for the Field Marshal Radetzky, which took place yesterday in the St. Ingnatius Church in Charles Square [Skt. Ignazkirche / Sv. Ignác], had a very benign character. All classes of Prague society were represented very numerously. The interior of the church: the altars and pews [draped] in black; the huge catafalque in the middle nave of the church adorned with the insignia of the deceased, surrounded by flags and ingeniously assembled ancient and modern weapons and armour in the splendour of which countless candles were reflected; at the corners of the catafalque four cannons, and around them the figures of the representatives of the troops, all of this stimulated an upliftingly profound impression among all those assembled for the celebration. Posted as guard of honour at the catafalque were the corps of injured soldiers [Invalidenkorps], down the middle of the church and at the exits forming an arch of sabres. His Excellency the Governor Baron von Mecsery appeared shortly before 10 o’clock, and soon after arrived His Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop. Of the high dignitaries present, besides the Mayor, the President of Provincial Government [Oberlandesgerichtspräsident] Baron von Hennet, the Colonel Chamberlain [Obersthofmeister] of the Emperor Ferdinand, Baron von Airoldi, the Lieutenant-Vice-President [Statthalterei-Vicepräsident] Count von Forgacs, together with other civil dignitaries, were the Imperial Generals with Field Marshal Baron von Herzinger at their head, as well as numerous staff and senior officers from the active and pensioned services. The infantry battalions on Charles Square accompanied the closing prayers by firing three salvos, which were returned by the battery on Vyšehrad. After the service was over, under the command of the General Baron von Stankovič [Stankowič] the brigade passed in full parade before His Excelleny Count Rhevenhüller, with the band playing the Radetzky March.’ No further details of the musical content of the occasion were noted by the source.
