[coldstream-1971]

[Tilly2]

Pardon?

[-Talbot-]

Is it a state funeral?

[Mamyalynne]

Please let it be for Family and friends only and they be allowed to say goodbye in peace.

Should you be contacting the BBC?

[Old_Geezer]

Hardy important enough a citizen for his funeral to be attractive to freeview channels.
Anyway did you not get an invite.

[EDDIE51]

Only funerals of national leaders and statesmen/women are televised . Funerals are for the family and close relatives to remember the deceased in private.
No doubt there will be news coverage of the funeral but NOT the funeral itself.

[Tilly2]

There will be a bit on the news.

[coldstream-1971]

Eh up Eddie what position of state did Princess Diana hold?

[douglas9401]

She showed us the state of the royal family, coldstream.

[Mamyalynne]

He was a much loved celebrity but he is/was not public property.

Do you really want a televised debacle like that of Michael Jacksons?

[hc4361]

Please, no.

[EDDIE51]

Princess Diana was a senior member of the Royal Family and would have become Queen until Camila got in the way!!
Just a bit more important than a pop singer!

[douglas9401]

That, EDDIE, is a matter of opinion.

[EDDIE51]

You also have to remember that there was also a very unsavory side to George Michael, including conviction for a 'lewd act' in a public toilet!
That casts a shadow over his life.
