Excellent address by Bishop of London. I always feel a good funeral should include the opportunity for a fond recollection and a little smile. Loved the anecdote about the duck paté. I get the feeling he was her sort of clergyman - and they understood each other well.
Not having seen many former politicians for a foew years somewhat shocked at how faded they look - Hezza, Hurd, Weatherill and others.

Amazing place that St Paul's. How did they do that?!

He's a fine feller, the sarge major

Absolutely.

He has just mentioned the ' There is no such thing as society' speach. Good. Perhaps more people will take the time to read and listen to it for themselves before deciding what they make of it. All to easy to soak in other peoples views.

This is the only pic of Thatcher I've ever liked

j08 Wed 17-Apr-13 11:23:53

I like the Bish of London

Grannyeggs Wed 17-Apr-13 11:22:52

I want it at mine. Mine won't be quite on this scale ... I don't think.

This is why it's lasted 2000 years.

In my father's house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you.
