Sad but beautiful sight

At 8am this morning a horse box arrived a few doors away from us.  I live in a town so this is a most unusual event.

It turned out to be a beautiful hearse and horses, that were loving cleaned and prepared for a funeral.

The horse box arrived

Two beautiful black horses were loving prepared 

Finally the hearse drove past the bottom of our drive on its way to perform its duty for the day.

I do know know who will take their final journey but they will go in style.
