Margaret Thatcher funeral: a "fitting tribute?"

[Nyani Ngabu]

The Queen's presence made it a State funeral in all but name.

Why so? Is she forbidden from attending private functions?

Nope. If the head of State (the Commander-in-Chief) was not present, it would have hardly be called a State funeral.

Even our President didn't bother? Or was he not invited?

Hiyo ya pili nafikiri inahusika zaidi kwasababu angeweza unganisha kutokea uholanzi.

Argentina invited, but not Tanzania?

Ile ni kwaajili ya mambo ya kidiplomasia zaidi, halafu nchi yetu haina ushawishi siku hizi, kwani ni viongozi gana wa maziwa makuu waliopelekewa mwaliko?

Yaani hakuna mtu hata mmoja?

Labda wangewagawia T shirt na kofia za njano.

As the person who took this photo stood watching, a man walked past and remarked to him in a gruff Scottish accent "You can see how much we loved her here, can't you?"

Sidhani kama wanaweza kudanganywa kwa ubwabwa.

One thing I found interesting is that despite being against the coal miners, she wanted to be cremated.

Now, the coal miners are protesting that there is no more coal left to cremate her body.

I had to laugh when I saw that comment from the leader of the miner's organisation!
EMT, thanks for the pictures!

Kwa wale wajuzi wa mambo ya kimataifa hasa siasa za Uingereza,kuna jambo for days now limekuwa lanisumbua na ningependa watu wanipe michango yao.
Margareth Thatcher alizikwa Uingereza bila kupewa mazishi ya kitaifa,najiuliza sababu ni nini hasa na nani anastahili kupewa mazishi ya kitaifa.

Mazishi ya Kitaifa- State Funeral ni kwa ajili ya MALKIA au Mfalme au mwana mrithi wa Ufalme wa Uingereza.

PM hupewa Ceremonial Funeral, na ndio hiyo aliyopewa Magreth T.

Pia ilikuwa wish yake no state funeral and she wanted to be creamated.Huu ni msiba wa pili kwa mfalme kuhudhuria ( Waziri mkuu) .Msiba wake ni sawa na Diana .mawaziri wengine wakifa hawafanyiwi yote hayo .

Nakumbuka ndugu wa Thatcher walisema kuwa aliomba afanyiwe funeral ya kawaida na akataka mwili wake uchomwe moto. Pia nafikiri alipata heshima sana maana malkia alihudhuria akiwa ni PM wa pili kwa malkia kufanya hivyo tangu 1965!! Kwa hiyo aliheshimika sana, tena sidhani kama hata alitaka afanyiwe ilivyokuwa. She wanted very low profile funeral ceremony, and her wish was even over granted.

As i noted above, All PMs is official stated that she/he will recieve Ceremonial Funeral.

No personal wishs or relatives grants.
