Thank you for the report. It really says something that she attended, I think, given her health.

ABC just had a shot of sunrise over Moscow....oh maybe it was sunset, either way, pignant.

[governorjim]

I didn't tape the service.....does anyone know if I can get a copy of this entire service....I missed Lady Thatcher....

[maica]

Thank your son for his thoughts. He is a treasure and part of the future of our country.

Dang it; what a kid. Give him a kiss for me. *sob*

[samantha]

It was beautiful,and was taped in February. It is hard to believe how emotional Lady Thatcher spoke,and especially knowing her health concerns,and this was taped 5 months ago. She is still an extraordinary stateswoman.

[don-o]

That is what we have always done in the past.

This is a unique live thread.

Different from all that have preceded it.

Different protocol should be in place,

[Socratic]

"I just wanted to share what my 17 yo is thinking while watching this."

Thank you.

Is it just CNN that's occasionally allowing some digital interference during the transitions between individuals speaking and major musical arrangements?

On the contrary, Danforth was the perfect choice, and his words were exactly what we needed to hear.

I was dubious at the choice, at first...but it was a wonderful homily...all the various references to "light" were just the perfect thing to say...

"Amazing Grace"...that always brings a tear, despite it's such a positive text...so appropriate here...

Did anyone else happen to see Nancy back at the Capital? It was so touching, the way she was patting the coffin amd I could see her telling "Ronnie" something like "we're going to go to the church now, and then we're going home..."

Now "Sing with All the Saints in Glory"...Ode to Joy tune...everyone is singing...the organ is magnificent...and indeed, "saints in glory"...along with Baroness Thatcher's "trumpets on the other side"...

How fitting this all is.

[wallcrawlr]

Lets pray they find the faith their father had..so they can be with him someday.

How long ago did you read this about Camilla? I keep up with the Royal Family and this is the first I've heard of it.

I wonder if Reagan was a fan of Ronan Tynan? He sure has a beautiful voice.

[Clara Lou]

Patti and Ron are standing there looking lost at singing a hymm!
When my mother died, I couldn't sing the hymns I'd requested.

[samiam1972]

Your son will be a great man. Wait...you son is already a great man! I hope my dear son grows up to be as thoughtful as yours. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!

[Darlin']

Yes, it is. We are blessed, indeed.

[prairiebreeze]

pignant.

poignant?

[longtermmemmory]

too bad the EU selected it as they temporary anthem until a permanent anthem can be composed.
