A state funeral is a world away from a lavish funeral. I am not saying that the copper shouldn't have a recognised funeral with military honours and all that but a state funeral it is not.

Edit; Diana did not have a state funeral.

I really don't see why that wasn't a "state funeral". Can't really see much of a distinction between a state funeral and a ceremonial one.

On the day of the funeral i was living by a busy road in Colchester,at the time of the funeral the road fell silent.

Even i got dragged to London to look at all the flowers and what have you .

He won't get one and the hang-wringing about this is pointless. He don't get one, and the suggestion is from people who don't understand what a state funeral is and how rare they are imho.

End of story.

This thread is TWTD gold. People asking for a state funeral who don't know what it is.

Isn't saying a state funeral is rare a bit pedantic? What were the differences between Diana's funeral and a state funeral? Very little from what I can tell.

People just want a big, public send off. Whatever you want to call it is irrelevant.

Most of you are missing the real point here; his funeral should be in accordance with the wishes of his family. That is all.

It will be the sort of funeral all police officers killed in the line of duty get, but probably with a lot more people watching.

Good story for the first time you meet potential in-laws - just after the awkward silence after you've told them what you do for a living.
