Default Military Funeral circa ???

These 3 post card type photographs taken in sequence depict a military funeral but where, when and who?

The coffin, draped in the Union Flag, is on a gun carriage or limbered waggon and and seems to be covered in floral tributes. Soldiers are carrying wreaths and more floral tributes. There is a band and a large number of Officers, NCOs and soldiers "on parade".

Any ideas? There is nothing writtten on the reverse of the cards.
