I was never a fan of Margaret Thatcher, left wing youth that I was, so I was surprised by my feelings, because I didn't think that I had any regarding todays funeral, until I read that the late Harold Wilson had a simple ceremony on the Scilly Isles and Harold Macmillan was buried in a quiet Sussex churchyard after a private service near his family home.  I would hate to think that funerals have become like celebrity weddings.  Just one more excuse for a Hello/OK spread.  Another 15 minutes of fame.  Yes, she served her country and we paid her a salary for it.  Her children will inherit her estate and it should pay for her funeral just as everbody elses does.  I know that this is seriously simplifying things but sometimes, you have to.
