Wikipedia tells us that Weber was buried in London, but 18 years later, his remains were transferred and re-buried in Dresden.
Since Weber died in 1826, it is unlikely that Wagner, who would have been only 13 years old, conducted anything at his funeral. He might well have conducted at a re-burial 18 years later.
So does Tony's story relate to the funeral or (as seems more likely) to the re-burial?

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
