did the Manchesters form part of Queen Victoria funeral processions? family always spoke of grandfather being in this

Possibly, but if they did they would be Regular Soldiers and not local Volunteers like your relative.

Likely the event was one that took place local to him.

This is one of the pages from the medal roll of the Manch Regt Volunteers with a Pte A March as part of the 3rd Active Service Section Manch Regt.

There is lots of information on the Manch Regt roll in the Boer War on this part of the site.
