Get it through your head....this is not a funeral.

The funeral is Friday.

That's the National Funeral.

Tonight was the State Funeral.

Well....you are right.

Sorry.

All I kept hearing was that there would be a short ceremony following the procession. I did not realize it was a funeral, but it is called the "state funeral ceremony."

It does seem to be of significantly less importance than Friday's actual national funeral service, however.
