The funeral. thread with no unkindness

When it comes to the crunch, we're not a bad lot are we?

Hasn't it been nice to hear the older servicemen complimenting her on her connections with the armed forces whilst in power and out of the lime light.

The likes of Simon Weston have a high regard for her and I am sure they know more about her deeds that we do.

No, no personalised numberplate here Movedalot.

I hadn't realised how beautiful St. Paul's is!

A very heartening occasion, made me proud to be British, as ever. Lots of respect and clapping, wonderful. I stood next to a guy being interviewed by BBC, I would have echoed his comments. Doubt it will be shown. They were searching for anti views but very few that I saw.

I posted on the other thread, unaware of this one. Osborne shed a tear too.

I am glad that good sense and decency prevailed in the end.

j08 did we pass you on the M6 yesterday? Passed a car with your numberplate.

I thought it all went beautifully .

No body does it like us .

Nice to hear the applause for her .

Ah was that Bernard Ingham brushing away a tear?
I love the words of the Funeral service - the simple dignity and the link it provides with centuries gone by.

I'm so happy that this country rose to the occasion despite all the warnings of trouble and protests.

Nice thread jings.

Beautiful. I managed to get out of the office to see the hearse pass through Trafalgar Square and then rushed back to watch the whole thing on my PC.

Welldone jingle
Very nicely done. I was following you in the dentists waiting room.

Interesting to hear David Dimbleby say that the plans for the funeral had been in place since Tony Blair's time - that TB, GB and DC were all agreed that it would be ceremonial and in St Paul's.

They said the roar of the applause and the 3 cheers heard outside was wonderful to hear. They must have had concerns.

Well done G.B.

Thank you for the thread*jo8*.
Feel very moved, by the Rt Rev Richard Chartres, (what a warm and generous speech) the music, St Paul's Cathedral, and Amanda Thatcher - her grandmother must have been so proud of her.

Sorry...meant to type ceremony.

A fitting ceromony for a lady that tried to do her best during difficult times. Thank you, Maggie T.

Nice thread, jingle. Good idea.

Yes jing we really needed thi thread, thanks.
I feel quite drained emotionally, need to go out I think.

Hey ho! Kathy Lettes next. (top that then Cathy)

I liked the fact Norman Tebbitt got a nice applause.

Bernard Ingham looked really sad.

Nice that Simon Weston was there.

And the masses are off!

Oh yes! That's Bernard Ingham!

Hiya soop. Nice wasn't it?
