I would think she would be entitled to the same honors Winston Churchill got for his funeral in 1965.

Found the charity mentioned in Lady Thatcher's obituary for donations in lieu of flowers:
The Royal Hospital Chelsea ^ Few British institutions can boast three centuries of unbroken service, and none is closer to the heart of the nation than 'The Men in Scarlet', the Chelsea Pensioners.
Their home, the Royal Hospital Chelsea, was founded in 1682 by King Charles II to provide soldiers with a fitting home in their retirement.
There is a Donation Link on the right side for our use.

but it will not be a full state funeral in line with her own wishes I respect her wishes but wish that she could have been sent off in high state.
May the Lord hold you tenderly Maggie Thatcher.
You were a fine lady in every sense of the word.

The least the House of WIndsor could do is loosen up the purse strings a bit for a state funeral. Have they learned nothing from the Diana fiasco? Let her lie in state like Winston

Note: I googled “the lady is not for turning” and clicked on one of the results because I wanted to get further information on the quote. And I got a virus which took me two hours to remove. So look out.

Did anyone expect the communists running Britain now to accord her full honors? And if so, what are you smoking?

"Lady Thatcher will not lie in state and there will be no military fly-past. " WTF?
Why isn't there a place for her in Westminster Abbey?
Please not next to Darwin...

She is too hated by a great many people in GB for a state funeral. There would be riots in the streets. No way the ceremony would proceed uninterrupted, over and over and over.
To: brityank
I’m going to be a dissenting voice here and suggest that giving her either a state or ceremonial funeral is a mistake. Much as I think that Thatcher was a great Prime Minister who grasped the nettle that needed to be pulled, I can understand why she is a divisive figure.
Old mining and manufacturing towns in the North where devastated in the wake of Thatcher’s reforms, and although I primarily blame the unions and the weak-willed pre-Thatcher politicians of the 60s and 70s for getting them into a state requiring such drastic measures, I believe Thatcher could have handled the way it happened a lot better and given those communities time to find alternative industries instead of allowing them to collapse virtually overnight and allow the towns to descend into into a spiral of unemployment, crime and drug abuse that still persists in many towns in the North, Scotland and Wales.
To: brityank
I am very surprised by this decision because she was PM.
At least the “great communicator” had a state funeral if my memory is correct.
