Baroness Thatcher’s funeral – Wednesday, April 17, 2013 | Churchmouse Campanologist

Margaret Thatcher, as a chemist, worked on the  formula for soft-serve ice cream.
Ichabod spent his early months at his parents' Dairy Queen,
one more reason to appreciate her.
While others posed for the photo, I began to eat.
Why not? Mom was not looking.

Baroness Thatcher’s funeral – Wednesday, April 17, 2013 | Churchmouse Campanologist:


The funeral
Before she died, Baroness Thatcher expressed her wish for a religious funeral. She made it clear that she did not want a state funeral. David Cameron and the Conservatives took that into account but decided that she deserved a ceremony which remembered her 11-year leadership and included those who fought in the Falklands War in 1982.
The Queen felt moved to attend the funeral, the first of a Prime Minister she has attended since Winston Churchill’s nearly 50 years ago, in 1965.
