As former Presidents they all shall be there but unless any of them have been asked by Nancy to speak OH WELL.

Exactly. Even though it's a State funeral, the wishes of the family are paramount.

We don't know if Presidents Ford and Bush I have been invited to speak, either. As far as I know, it will be the sitting President (as it was in Nixon's case) and Mrs. Thatcher's taped address (because President Reagan wanted it so).

And, as for the matter of non-partisan funeral services, let's not forget the last Dem funeral in Minnesota.
