He was great but this isn't appropriate. I am convinced they start things like this for themselves rather than the people they are supposedly trying to honour. No doubt a tv interview will follow with Mr Oram and it will be job done. |  |

And Susan Willis reminds us how 'he fought in the wars'. Only one war Susan. He wasn't born until after WW1 ended.
Addendum
It looks as though he actually did no fighting. He was primarily an instructor in armoured warfare so far as I can see. Although I'm happy to be proved wrong. [Post edited 3 Feb 2021 21:55]

He was clearly a modest man and wouldn’t have wanted all this blubbery. Name a hospital after him and leave it at that. At least it would be appropriate. |  | | |

Of course they do. It's encouraged by the underlying, morally bankrupt ethos of twitbook. | |

As I said in an earlier post, I wonder when the film deal will be signed. | |

Of all the stuff I've read/heard the past 24 hours, that's actually the most appropriate and sensible suggestion I've seen, bar none. |  |

This is spot on.
It's also a pandemic where nobody is really allowed to meet and funerals are restricted in size so what kind of crazy idea is it to have a state funeral?

All we need to do is try our best to act with stoicism, modesty, good manners and a healthy sense of proportion; as his generation so often did. |  | | |

Who gets the role of Captain Tom? I'm going for The Rock, or maybe Jason Statham, in what will be a more action based reinterpretation of the walk up and down the garden. Probably directed by Guy Ritchie. |  |

Flicked through the TV channels this AM and briefly paused on ITV breakfast programme and there was Schofield reading out messages.
"I've been crying all morning", said the first and only one I heard.

Yeah that's more like it.
Or even a ward or something in the hospital local to them.
Why do people have to go over the top, desperate to feel part of something that hasn't even happened to them? | |

Farming it out to the private sector for a poorer standard of ceremony is what she would have wanted. |  |

Had you not considered trying your best to act with stoicism, modesty, good manners and a healthy sense of proportion as her generation so often did in response to that? [Post edited 3 Feb 2021 20:24]

Ah, that I guess is where we differ. Holding someone to task in calling ANYONE that name, with all the cowardice it entails, is in itself a healthy sense of proportion I believe. | | | |

Care about what? If you're asking me if i think he should get a state funeral then no he shouldn't. Do i think what he did was absolutely fantastic then the answer is yes but so many people have done great things too and none of them have had a state funeral either. | | | |
