On the morning of 30 January, Charles walked from St James\'s through the park to Whitehall, calling on his guard "in a pleasant manner to step on a pace." At 2 pm, attended by Bishop Juxon, he stepped through a window of the Banqueting House on to a scaffold draped with black, which had been erected in the street. "Nothing in his life became Charles like the leaving it."
